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. http://www.redlineweber.com/html/thrott ... deshow.htm |

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. |
