Activating MDS

Had an idea, or brain fart, depending on how you look at it....

What if????

Pre-VVT 5.7 MDS, carb, MSD ignition conversion.

What if you could activate the solenoids on the MDS either by a trigger off the MDS box, manually or some other means? Like a nice high vacuum cruise, 70mph down the highway?

The MDS cylinders wouldn't pull fuel in, valves are closed, no vacuum, not sure if the carb would flood out the other cylinders and kinda negate the whole idea???

Any thoughts or flames?

Thanks,

I dont think that's possible with the carb set up. I have that engine in my durango. My understanding of how it works is that it basically shuts not only spark off to the cylinders but turns the fuel injectors off. If you try to do it with a carb conversion on it, the closed cylinder intake port is still gonna get filled with fuel, thus flooding that cylinder when it does open back up, plus the carb cant automatically adjust to run leaner, thus flooding the other 4 cylinders. Plus the whole set up relies on electronically controlled lifter and an electric throttle position sensor/control. you have none of that with the carb set up. there's also a special sensor per cylinder that takes into account the oil pressure per cylinder. Only way to make it work is with fuel injection.
