ive got a 63 Dart Wagon that’s a slant six and it’s in real good shape so I was considering maybe putting an aftermarket fuel injection setup on it. Anybody done this? What did you use? And what were the results?
Does anyone make a kit, or are people generally adapting v6 injection to their slant6's?I think port injection would be best for a straight 6.

The Holley 2300 EFI system is $850 for the base kit and FiTech has a similar offering for $795. If you have a stocker slant 6, one of those is your best bet.
Have to agree with that, why spend money on fuel injection system that has a wet manifold.Both of those systems are still a TBI into a wet manifold. Port injection will be much more efficient, and potentially make more power.
As I said earlier, fine if you're just looking to enhance driveability, but not the best choice for an inline engine. Especially if you are willing to/have the ability to play around.

I run a MS3 Pro on a slant.
Using Ford blue top injectors in a Clifford intake that has the nitros bosses drilled to accept the injectors. A gm 3.8/5.0 throttle body matches up with the other gm engine sensors. The MS3 also runs the ignition, using a locked lean burn distributor to fire a MSD box. I ran into an issue with underhood electronic interference, which is not uncommon with aftermarket FI, got that resolved and all is good.
I plan to set it up to run E85 next year to take advantage of the higher octane and run higher compression.
Do you have some pictures please?
this photo shows the fuel rail, Clifford intake, ported throttle body, this was taken prior to setting up the MDS ignition, when a HEI was in use.I'd like to see your setup also
"never know the difference between a wet or dry manifold..............'specially on a mild slant.."
Dat tru,, so for a mild slant build, if it was me, I would just stay with a carburetor. Save the money that would be spent on
a TBI system and spend that on a nice set of wheels, a lot more people will notice.
Looks like a triple Weber intake - individual throttle bodies?
Not worth it to adapt a system. It used to be back when turn-key aftermarket solutions weren't available. I did the research (and others have) to adapt a 454 TBI system on to a 440. And GM 3800 port injection to a 225 slant. It made sense 15 years ago, but now you can get an aftermarket setup with full technical support for so cheap these days that it is not in any way feasible to try and adapt an old system.
