ok so i figured while im working on all the other stuff id see if there are fuel injection kits for these engines or if it would be relativly easy to make one my self or would it be insanly complicated i know some of these y-blocks used 3 bolt carbs and intakes and that gm throttle bodies are 3 bolt design for the most part so would it be posible to make my own fuel injection set up if i find the right parts let me know your opinion regardless i want to atleast try it

"young bucks bring fresh ideas sometimes they work sometimes they dont but all the same it was an idea it wasnt the first it wont be the last either!"

anything is possible...there are aftermarket kits that will work......it definatley is worth it if you know how to do it yourself as the installation and conversion is what takes the money...(labor is expensive)

If it aint broke, lets modify it!

ah so do you have any ideas on how to do this conversion i stated my idea in my post but i would like some more expirenced thoughts

"young bucks bring fresh ideas sometimes they work sometimes they dont but all the same it was an idea it wasnt the first it wont be the last either!"

I am going to use those 80's CFI 2 bbl throttle body carburettors from 302, it fits to 57 and later 2 bbl intake manifold. And for ECM I have built Megasquirt. It needs little work, but how much, I will know that when I have my engine ready.

If you want to make it easy on yourself, the FAST EZ EFI and Retrotek Boss EFI are self tuning systems that mount directly to an intake with the Holley 4150 pattern (ECZ-B, Blue Thunder).

Holley and Edelbrock provide fuel injection systems which have to be tuned. With megasquirt, you can do just about anything. There are the Stromberg 97 looking throttle bodies. If you can get a hold of an original Hilborn manifold, you can send that to Hilborn and have it converted to efi. Adapters are available to mount GM throttle bodies to a 4150 manifold and the GM computers are pretty easy to tune. You can make a manifold for multiport injection.

There are many options. It really comes down to your own ability to implement each system.

just like those kits.....i am converting my 85 chevy suburban to tbi and its all pretty easy for me as i can wire in a chevy truck tbi, ecm and sensors...the kits are even easier.

ok the 4150 kits are great if you have that intake but i have a 2bbl intake so am i screwed unlessi get a 4150 or could a guy make his own adapter plate to these

"young bucks bring fresh ideas sometimes they work sometimes they dont but all the same it was an idea it wasnt the first it wont be the last either!"

You can make, maybe even buy an adapter. With the 2bbl manifold, look at using a 2bbl gm throttle body. Then you can prevent the mixture from having to make some tight turns.

ok great does anybody know where to find the ford 302 2bbl tb or the chevy 2bbl tb?
