Go to the Force Fuel Injection site, they have pics of a manifold converted to FI for a BBC.

Hey thanks again!
I am a little familiar with current OBDI and OBDII cars. I have ditched the MAF for MAP in the past by using standlone ECUs like the Haltech and AEM EMS. The MAF is tricky the more power you push and especially if you venture into forced induction which is what i know most about.

I have just never messed with a carb engine before. This is going to be my first classic hot rod so I am just getting my feet wet. I am very excited though since it seems that the parts for these engines are amazingly cheap compared to what I have dealt with using 5-10 year-old engines and turbochargers.

I haven't been doing the work myself since I don't quite have all the knowledge yet but I have learned. That is why this car I plan to do most of the work myself(other than the tuning via laptop).

I just know the first thing that I want to do is get the engine fuel injected and I have never done that before. I have now read that by using a system like the picture you posted, I can install a trottle body on top. I won't need the MAF of course because I will be using the MAP system. I searched around but I can't find one of those manifold setups for the 427 big block for sale online. I'll keep searching.

Next thing I am curious about is the fuel delivery. Is there an intake fuel pump used with a carbed system? I would think so, then I could use that and the fuel lines but just add the FPR and set up the fuel rails with AN fittings and steel braided lines right?
