Chaparral2f Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I've been reading this board for a while but this the first time that I have posted. I am building a 406 sb for my '84ZX Saturday Night Special. I am looking at a lightened forged crank, aluminum rods and flatop pistons. I have a 400, four bolt small block, a set of Brodix-10 heads and a Joe Hunt Magneto. I would like to run either Hilborn mechanical Injection, or else four Weber carbs. I realize that the Hilborns won't idle, but I can live with that. I am not sure that the webers won't be really hard to keep adjusted. (I have no experience with them) So here is what I need to know: 1. will the Hilborns make as much power as EFI?TPI? 2. would it make more sence to go with the webers? 3. What should I do about a cam? (other than eating Vettes and Mustangs, I plan to only do some autocrossing. This car is NOT a daily driver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 unless you have the manifolds carbs or injectors why go with it. Edelbrock and Holley both make respectable new fuel injection sytems. Where are you at in Oregon. I am in Lane County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 I am in southern Oregon. Jackson county. I have enough trouble just getting my vcr to display the right time, without having to figure out how to program an engine's computer. Besides, I'm an old fart, and I feel comfortible with old technology. Also the heads I have are huge, (210cc intake port vol) and Hilborn injection passes a lot of air. Besides, there is something really vicious about those ram tubes sticking up through the hood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hillborn sounds good and still looks exotic. My vcr has never had the correct time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
