@JohnnyDesaint Ford 300 I6 out of a mid 90's Ford truck will give you a solid EFI setup if you want it ( carb manifolds bolt up also ), and there are tons out there. std SBF bellhousing pattern and all. late 60's .early 70's, they used the 240 I6 in the big cars which is the same block as the 300. you may have trouble finding the front sump pan, but you could end up with a bolt in factory EFI engine
@mattdudley13 I had a 300 I6 in my bronco and loved it. But it has a lot of unecisary wiring and it kept frying ignition control box's even with brand new wiring done at a dealer. That is the biggest draw I have with them. Finally got it worked out and never had that problem again.
you can hear the typical tick tick tick of the TBI unit. They are great. Reliable as hell. The only thing I don't like about em is the ticking sound that you hear with an open faced breather like that. I suppose if the exhaust is loud enough it doesn't matter though. Great work.
Nice [idea] Man ! Alot of consumers would of been all over that back then ! It's Flawless rev's nice no skipping. I was curious on what bottom housing u used for the Thermostat Sending Unhit for the Ecu. Please make a video after it's all done of it driving and shifting . I just have to see this in action.
thats very interesting. i always wondered about that** i have a 40' Master Deluxe and a 235 Donor.. hmmm now how bout TWO TBI's hahaa but is that a 4 barrel size equivilent??
@drummin52 I'm very interested in doing this to my 250 six that's for my 53 chevy coupe project. Please keep us updated on what changes you have to make for final tuning.
@drummin52 thats the coolest thing Ive ever seen in a retro inline six. Do you plan to make an instruction video. Is it easy to do? Hows your gas mileage now?
Do you have a detailed write up for this? I have an inline 250, I would like to convert.

Can you make a nice long drive video before the removal of the saginsaw ? A 3.lL out of a z24 Cavi ?

does throttlebody injection need any info from the engine to run??? like temp or a signal from the dist? very cool!!
jmadd9000 11 months ago
@jmadd9000 Yes it uses the tach signal to know when to fire the injectors. It also uses a temp sensor and a knock sensor (optional).

Oh, this is awesome. I'm definitely converting my '66 Biscayne 250ci (as soon as I scrounge up enough money for an intake!).
Sounds great, too!

An update for those who care, I ended up swapping out the 4.3L computer for a 3.1L computer, seems to work better but its not time tested yet.
