Check out what I found on the redline webber site,
Complete throttle body injection kits, I have no Idea what the cost is but looks like a good setup.
I wonder how this would work on slant6.

Heres a link to the fuel injection page.

That looks very cool. For someone with the money, knowledge and time it would take, this is probably the best setup currently available.
The biggest drawback to a system like this is not the money. The time it would take to dial this in would be huge. The software would not have a mask(primary setup code) for a slant. It definitely would not have one for a slant in your car with your mods...or anyone elses for that matter. This means you would have to start from scratch on programming. For the first week a stock 225 with a Carter BBS would run faster and smoother.
I have 2 FI projects on the go. In both cases I was able to start with a fairly close mask and go from their. Remarkably the more radical of the 2 projects has been fairly easy. It runs well, makes huge torque and gives good fuel economy. The other project has given me fits since last April. Recently I made a huge leap forward by discovering a large ground strap on the ECU made the sensors more sensitive. The car runs much better and doesn t throw codes all the time.
My point is: buying a kit like this is only a tiny start in a huge process. I will be doing the slant in the Valaint, but only because I can use a 747 ECU with readily available masks to get me started. If the software in the REDLINE kit doesnt include an applicable mask I would pass till it does.
Dont get me wrong,,,I would love this on a Lynx manifold (or similar) but I want someone who really knows there stuff to live in my shop for 4 months and dial it in.

Sounds like is something I should probably avoid !
I dont really know much about fuel injection, but I would like to convert to it someday.

For now, i'm getting ready to do a supersix swap. Hopefully it will run better than my holly 1bbl.

A Super 6 swap is a really good idea. It will run better and offer up more HP than your Holley. You may also experience slightly better gas mileage. It is easy to swap and requires a minimum of tuning to get running nicely. I have a Super 6 on my car presently. I found an early 60s 318 Carter BBD is an excellent carb for this application. The whole combination benefits from a 2 1/4" exhaust and a little advance curve tweaking.

Clifford sells the Weber Redline setup for the slant 6 for about $2K. FWIW, I think its way overpriced for the fact that it is only a TBI system.

You can make your own TBI system based on the GM and/or megasquirt stuffs for half that $2k, give or take. Heck, even multiport for less then $2k, machinework on a manifold for bungs and fuel rail is ~400.
