jimszx Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hello, I was going through the PAW catalog the other day and noticed the Edelbrock fuel injection setup for SBC. It appears to be a standard manifold with fuel injectors installed over the intake ports, fuel rails, a throttle body to control air flow and a computer. All for approximately $1400. Here'e where my screwed up brain kicks in. What's to keep a person from taking an aftermarket manifold, installing a throttle body, drilling and installing 8 fuel injectors from say an SVO Ford, using homemade fuel rails, the existing Datsun fuel injection pump and fuel lines. And controling it all with a Megasquirt? So am I crazy or just having dangerous thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Or, just do what I plan on doing...converting an LT1 manifold to use a rear mounted dizzy, drill the bolt holes and use it with MS... Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddriver Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I've considered doing something like that myself. If you are going to use MS anyway, you already have to set up all the calibration tables. Personally I don't know a lot about fuel delivery, so I was concerned about getting the injectors mounted in a good location and pointed in a good direction, but if you worked that out, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to build a custom FI system for spare change. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
