Terrible idea for a towing application, just saying what needs to be said. Step up to a 408" with Trick Flow (or comparable) heads, because you'll be building another shortblock shortly after the first turbo build. Keep it simple (reliable), with gearing and displacement. It's a tow-rig, not...

After reading a few pages of interaction here, and looking at my own 'B/RB/G3 Hemi' bias - I don't see an issue with a 318, if expectations are kept reasonable. Expectations low, meaning 230 - 260 HP @ 5,000 RPM is a good place to start. We aren't talking about 'trick' builds to make this...

Pretty funny reading this thread, because I went through this exact scenario, to the point of purchasing an expensive aluminum (o-ring sealed) water neck spacer specifically for adapting a probe - yet the autometer probe still hit the thermostat. It won't directly thread into even a Performer...

If you care about reliability, I'm not sure that aftermarket EFI with the ECU mounted above the manifold would be the solution in the long run [start researching the failure rates of long-term units]. As long as you understand these systems share no relation in durability to your modern daily...

I wouldn't consider anything but the Edelbrock Pro-Flo for a SBM, you get Fuel & Timing control [with an MPFI manifold] for $1900. You're still in it at least, another $300 for a dedicated fuel system. What makes more sense in terms of durability, an ECU mounted over your intake manifold or...

What exactly are you hoping to achieve with EFI & most importantly; what is your budget? Camshaft profile? Would you rather have the ECU in the glove box or under the hood?

Yes, most all of these systems utilize OEM sensors. Edelbrock looks like the most promising unit, as the ECU is remote mounted, no different than the Terminator kit from Holley. I haven't looked into it, but from what I've heard you cannot data log on the Edelbrock, is that correct?

Considering millions of factory 1980's era TBI EFI systems would run in excess of 200,000 miles without major failure, every aftermarket system on the market is completely unreliable in comparison. These systems are not OEM quality, although most of the user serviceable components are OEM. The...

My advice, become a member of the dedicated EFI groups on Facebook. Look through the past 30-days of posts to see if any system is truly for you.

If you're worried about the fuel tank becoming a heat sink, fairly simple solution is to wrap your exhaust or install some simple (OEM) heat shielding off a newer car.

Well, I'll put this out their. Asymmetrical camshaft lobe designs, really look into some of the past research done by Harold Brookshire (UltraDyne -current Bullet Cams-, Comp Cams, Lunati Voodoo series). The Asymmetrical lobes in common-terms, allows the valve to be seated more gently than it...

Kind of got here a bit too late, would have mentioned that Holley Sniper EFI how has the HyperSpark ignition system available with hall effect distributor, completely plug-and-play. I would agree with the above statement, Holley is perfecting the revolution that FiTech started with TBI EFI...

Running a turbo with my previous RB motor, big displacement, low-boost is a great way to go about making power. Don't even consider it without EFI for a street car, just my opinion.

You could easily keep your stock-stroke 340 and run a procharger (or any belt-driven s/c) kit with Sniper EFI / boost-referenced fuel system for nearly the same cost. May be something else you should consider.

I recently installed a Holley Sniper on a b-body (470ci low-deck) last Friday. The install took around four hours, as I already had a forward and return system. I've ran a twin-Walbro inline setup for years after the car was turbocharged, with saying that, it has a sumped fuel cell and the...
