Re: Fuel injection question
I'd venture to guess the *cough* GM V6 TBI could be pretty easy and cheap. MPFI is the best though. I wonder about putting the injectors in the manifold instead of in the head...
If you decide to do throttle body and there isn't an adapter out there, let me know, if you twist my arm hard enough and I get the urge, I might make an adapter.

yea, that could work, but will it work with a turbo?40YearOldFury wrote:Throttle body injection and a Megasquirt!!!
ill have to look into this, im currently drawing out a few ideas that are in my head. i know one of the ideas ive got is to cut and shorten the stock intake on a slant and modify it to have better air flow from the turbo, and have the fuel injections right before the end of the intake. but if the throttle body injection works, it would look more stock with an air filter...DavidWymore wrote:I'd venture to guess the *cough* GM V6 TBI could be pretty easy and cheap.

Re: Fuel injection question
With a Megasquirt you can do a Turbo and the TBI with an adapter can bolt on just like a carb. If you are a purist and want Mopar equipment you can look for a late 80's 360/5.9 TBI Mopar throttle body and make that work too. If you want to modify your manifold and put one injector per cylinder you can do that too and run a later model V8 mopar throttle body as well. Megasquirt gives you the ability to tune just about anything. There are even fancy things like wasted spark, sequential fired injectors, and using the Megasquirt to controll your timing and advance. You will also want to put in a O2 sensor to make tuning a little easier. They are pretty neat. I'm still working on mine and learning more about them but there is a huge online support community. Just do a Google search and you'll see. I'm just running a Holley Pro-Jection throttle body on my 318 Poly and keeping it simple to start. You can order the kits fully built or as a kit and solder it all together yourself if you have the skills. http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/inde ... 19d9e3bf9b

Re: Fuel injection question
I have a '91 W350 360 engine out back with the throttle body on it, but nothing else, scrapped the truck.

Re: Fuel injection question
Now someone needs to make an adapter for the Mopar Throttle body to fit onto a carb designed manifold! You can always use MDF or something like a 3/4 inch thick heat risistant kitchen cutting board though.

Re: Fuel injection question
That would be ideal...but...Yeah, I don't have those skills or tools! lol Hey...If you are offering though! Need to adapt a 360 1988 vintage throttle body to a 1957 318 Poly 4bbl intake. You know the kind that came with the WCFB carbs.DavidWymore wrote:Aluminum...40YearOldFury wrote:Now someone needs to make an adapter for the Mopar Throttle body to fit onto a carb designed manifold!

Re: Fuel injection question
I don't have those parts, so I would need a dimensioned drawing...
