edwhite7 Ed the FI system will get better milage and more power in the middle range when setup right. Overall drivibility will improve. It should just fit under a contempory hood with the short stacks. Depending on the system you will need a cam signal for the ECU to know when #1 cylinder is firing and a crank signal. I have a FAST ECU with each cylinder controlling spark and fuel. This makes each hole even as possible for power. I was told this system goes to batch fire over 3500 rpm because there is no advantage at this engine speed. For the cam signal you can use a MSD distributor and lock out the advance plate in the bottom for timing and remove all the pin wheels but 1 to MATCH the #1 cylinder for firing. Gessford Machine make a cam sensor for this if you are using a multicoil system. Crank trigger speaks for itself. George also makes a bolt on for the same setup. I built my own brackets from the MSD brackets to work on an FE. Sequential system was about 1,500.00$ more on the FAST system 6 years ago. Have had no problems with the system. You will need a laptop to program this. Others have small pads that do the same thing. You will need an O2 sensor in the side pipe, about 6" after the collector on one side. Fuel system will need good supply lines I run 2, 1/2" feeds and a 3/8" return. I am running a blower motor also and have 2 255 fuel pumps in the tank. You will need 1 supply line and a good electric fuel pump to maintain 45 psi under WOT. Good luck with the change over, it's worth it in the long run. My next motor is a 489 or 496 with 58mm on top.
