EFI Bung in head update
Update: Juss fabbed the fuel rail. Went the EZ route and took one off a Northstar V8. It has the identical 2.00" injector spacing and it was an EZ take out, 4 bolts! Came with an integrated fuel pressure regulator too, only downside is that its a "dead head" rail meaning the pressure regulator is in front of the rail on the feed side. Usually its on the end to bleed off the pressure and keep the fuel in circulating, but its a minor thing. Itll make the fuel lines easier to run as they both will feed off the back of the head, out of site. Cut the first 3 off, and then the last 3 off. Trim to butt fit and braze. Bend the fuel lines so they follow the curve of the head at the rear and bend the rear mounting tab so its flush with the engine sling boss. make a little plate that goes between the boss and the mounting tab and bolt them together. Use the 9/16 mystery bolt on the front of the head to make a front rail mount. Make sure you use equal pressure when fitting this on the injectors as the middle is going to be weaker at the braze point. I think the rail is stainless as I cant get any pipe solder to stick, will get it professionally welded.
