What do I think? I think I'm jealous! oke:

 

Nice! Can't beat the wow factor of IR manifolds, imo. And with EFI, you can avoid some of the tuning challenges associated with multiple carb setups.

 

That is cool!!! :thumbsup:

 

Jim, That thing looks like CRAP!
I'm here for you so I'll provide my address where you can dump it off.
Have fun with that. EFI would really be the business.

 

Neato! And that fits under your hood? As in stock hood? Wow.

 

Yep, pretty sure that is awesome.

Just looked at the picture again... even more sure that is pretty awesome.
If it were in my garage, I'd be going out there every 5 minutes saying this over and over again.
Finds like that are rare enough now, that they deserve a lot more attention, and drooling time.
Nice score!

 

Thats awesome Jim! I cant wait to stop by and take a look at that thing! :thumbsup:

 

will look good once done--

your braver than me-- i saw an intake like that at the portland swap meet this year.. i remember it wasnt cheap (maybe if it was i would have tried it!)
and i figured by the time i made it EFI i would spend close to new price..

my EFI showed up last week-- still in the box..
similar to what scott said i go out open the box - drool over it and close it again :beer:

 

I'll have less than $1200 into this entire system when it's done. What did you pay for your FI, and what kind is it?

 

you got it for like a $100?

the setup like yours i saw the guy wanted 1000

a good engine management system - 1500
injectors- 350
air cleaners- 150
tps 50
- so i figured 3000-3500 so if you get it done for $1200 your far ahead

do standard EFI injectors fit right into the hilborn bodies?

i assumed mods were going to have to be done

 

I got it for $440.
Megasquirt control - $500
Used GM injectors and sensors - $100
Fuel pump - I a spare I already have - $0
Clean and flow the injectors - $100
Modify the manifold - $100 (I can do it myself)
Fuel rail - fab up myself

I'm sure it will end up a little more than that, but way cheaper than ANY purchased stack system.

 

keep us posted . would love to see some "in progress" photos.

Sweet! That'll look great on your brown mustang

 

You'll be in good shape. megasquirt = great product with much support....... I'm jealous a lot.

 

Sweet! That'll look great on your brown mustang

Normally I'd be offended by someone calling my Mustang brown. But coming from a guy with an orange Mustang, I'll let it go...

 

Dead sexy.

 

Where did you ever find a set up like that???

 

I met this follically challenged half wit in a local bar. He was totally inebriated. We started talking about the hot Bartenderess who had a t-shirt on with a Ford logo on it (later she told me he's in there just about every night - sheez). Here name was something like Linette, or Jeanette, or Linore, or something. Really hot anyway. So he says he has a Mustang and starts telling me all this BS about how it's got a Ferrari V-12 in it, and that he put stack fuel injection on it off an FE. I said "yeah, right, that makes sense." Then he starts mouthing off about some old guy that's friends with his Dad. Said the guy is some kind of local legend, and that he has this awesome stash of Vintage Ford parts in his basement, including some rare fuel injection setups. Now, I didn't just jump off a banana wagon, so I'm not buying any of it. But still I play along, acting like I believed him, because, you know, it was kind of fun. So a little later I start to get tired of it and say, "hey, when can we go look at that Ford stash?". He says "Uh, um, well, uh, I'll have to check into it. The guy is a little eccentric and may not want us nosing around.". So finally I decide that this guy is a moron and get up to leave. I'm about at the door and a guy named Sammy stops me and says he's got this old stack injection system if I'm interested. He seemed legit, so I took his number. The next day i call him, go over and look at it and buy it. But that guy in the bar, what a zero....

 

Your Welcome.... :cheers:

 

I always hate to see a rare vintage piece get hacked up... any chance that is valuable enough that you could trade it for a newer piece? Maybe even come out money ahead?

 

No.

 

Your Welcome.... :cheers:

Exactly.

You can't make this stuff up . . . because we've all met this guy!

"The story you've just heard is fictional, although it is based in reality. The names of the character's were changed to protect the innocent."

But come to think of it, the main character isn't innocent at all, so we'll just call him by his real name, Dan (DM289).
He does indeed know a man who is a friend of his father's and has a ton of rare Ford stuff in his basement. Now, is Dan follically challenged, a moron, or a zero? I'll leave that up to you the reader to decide, but I will say that he was at that time without a doubt, unquestionably, completely inebriated. :drunkies:
