Dan,
Man that is a great looking system. The first image that popped in my mind was a '64 Dodge 330 sedan with those stacks poking through the hood, bolted to a nice little (?) Hemi!! Great way to have a driveable car with visual impact.

Now for reality. I haven't done a system on a rod, but appreciate it's advantages on "civilian" cars in the fleet. Like fmj I've got a buddy, who is wrapping up a '50 Ford convertible with a 5.0 out of a late model Explorer.

I don't know how many times I heard him say "man, I coulda done a 4 barrel for a whole lot less money and trouble". The money part comes from the parts being more expensive, even though he got the entire system with the takeout engine, and work, some of which you farm out if you're not an electronic FI guru.

As for parts, there of course is the modified wiring harness, throttle body changes, extra fuel line for return, a high pressure fuel pump, since the donor most likely won't fit the rod's tank, and then a miriad of "little" parts and pieces it takes to tweak the system to fit in the transplanted environment. He also had innumerable phone calls to Street & Performance, and Ford Motor Sports, the answers sometimes conflicting between the two. He ended up buying some recommended parts that ultimately didn't help and had to be replaced with something else. His final saving grace was in finding a local shop that had genuine expertise with electronic FI. Once he got it all together they were a huge help in getting it fine tuned so it would run beyond barely. And then there was something I didn't realize, on a transplant, apparently the computer has to "relearn" the operating perameters of the new set up, which takes some 30-35 starting/driving cycles.

Like so many areas, the learning curve can be a pain. For all that he went through a lot of grief in the process, he's very pleased with it now that it is on the road. As for cost, he hasn't really admitted a number, but based on my memory of discussions along the way, I'd say he's got an extra $2k in the installation. And he started with the complete system on the engine!!

It'll be interesting to see if ghostwheels is still hanging around and will have any comment.
