Having a spare head and lots of reading has got me thinking about carby upgrades and I've got a lot of good ideas from you guys. First off though, I have a '75 head off of a 250 CI US made engine and I would like to discuss different options for carburation, particularly, in using fuel injectors coupled with a fuel rail and a throttle body. Do you suppose we could drill and tap holes in the log for the purpose of mounting injectors, and then mounting a throttle body on the carb hole. I got this idea from a recent magizine article where the guy built a big FE Ford engine doing this by using a regular intake manifold drilled for injectors with a throttle body mounted on the carb boss utilizing a Chevy module to control the injectors. He had very good success according to the posted horse power figures. After reading the article I thought this might be a super trick for our log heads. So for the sake of disscusion...I think the carb hole in my log is 1.75", and I think it would be fairly straight forward in adapting a throttle body to fit, but my theory is based on the maximum amount of air I can suck through this adapted throttle body and coming up with an injector size based on that figure. I then need to pick your brains for which computer to use and how to manage the set-up. Sounds easy, right?This has got to work well. Has anyone done it yet on a six?
