Junkyard FI Intake manis, fuel rails, throttle bodies for 440 Mopar
Hello all,
This is my first thread, i recently acquired 1977 Apollo 2600 DB with 136k miles - its a 26ft RV with a 440 Mopar in it.
I changed the oil and gave it some fresh fuel and it fired right up after about 13years of sitting outside.
i am eventually thinking of converting it to electric but for the time being, looking to get it fuel injected mainly for reliability and mpgs ... i have successfully been running microsquirt on 4cyl engines and it seems like i would be able to run fuel on 8cyl only without any problems using microsquirt. I think I would be able to run fuel only with speed density therefore I dont really need tps but do need some type of tb to control the throttle, it would be nice to have tps tho and be able to do a mix of alpha-n n speed density.
Biggest concern is adapting a crank position sensor to the block. id really like an actual CPS and not one of those harmonic balancer mounted things with a magnet on a bracket. ANY IDEAS ?? without taking out the block out of the rv?
ALSO ... WHAT RELATIVELY MODERN (1985-2010) VEHICLES CAME WITH INTAKE MANIFOLD or manifoldS that WOULD BOLT UP to the 440 MOPAR and DO HAVE PROVISIONS for BOSCH type FUEL INJECTORS or any injectors that could be found at the junkyard ???
The fuel rails would come from the same vehicle that the intake manis come from
throttle bodies i could just use an that has TPS and are big enough.
I guess if there is nothing like that what im looking for at the junkyard, I could always just machine some counterbores into my current ederblock intake mani then use one 4cyl fuel rail for each side , take off the carb and make an adapter for two 2" dia. throttle bodies off of a early VR6.
Buuuuut in this case ... would the spacing of the injectors matter much?? what would dictate it ?? the spacing of cylinders in the block? id want to be on center of cylinders ... correct??
thank you
