decisions, decisions, decisions....

is MPFI really needed? would I see that big of a difference? is the difference worth the additional cost?

If I can ever get my air intake situation figured out, I will let you know.

[EagleMark]

I doubt you'd notice the difference compared to the extra money your going to spend? JMO... you've got everything needed for TBI except a decent adapter so $70 or several hundred more for MPFI...

Whoops! I thought it was just broken links. We'll see. The list appears to be running still so someone probably forgot to move the software for the site. Anyway, no reason to lament about how difficult life is with an Olds. Bob's project didn't require a ton of work. Anyone who's truly spent time building an Olds will think this swap an easy one indeed.

The 4 BBL throttle body that I posted pictures of a couple months ago is sitting on top of an Olds, 468 c.i. IIRC. I'm getting it pretty close on the tune now, replacing the fuel system REALLY helped there.

Just thought I'd post about other Olds injection swaps. ;)

[dyeager535]

Its good to hear there are more Olds' out there being injected. But I can lament all day...what's the Olds equivalent to a Vortec head? What's that? Newest production SBO head design was in 1985?! Just horsing around. Life would probably be easier if I weren't dealing with the G-body, although finally someone makes headers for that application.

Found an injected Seville on Craigslist already, but guy won't part the car and wants $450 for it. I don't need to pay $450 for an intake and rails.

Maybe I should start another thread for Olds injection, hijacking this thread has been fun though.

The Olds equivalent to a Vortec head? 2 BAR MAP sensor, EFI, and forced induction. Works for almost any engine actually.

Next?? :)

Find Bruce Roe and the guys from the Caddy list. Maybe someone there can help you find the parts you need.

Or look at CL nationally.

I already have the Holley BB to square bore adapter. I'm sticking with TBI for now since I have almost everything I need and the cost involved with the MPFI. MPFI will be one of those "just because I can" future upgrades. probably go with a stealth ram next year or so...

Does anyone have a V8 memcal they would sell?

[EagleMark]

I think gregs78cam has some in for sale section...

[1project2many]

Stealth Ram is a nice intake for making power.

Edit: Was thinking of Accell Superram

The last batch of PCMs I got were all V6s. I have 2 V8 PCMs with memcals. I also have one memcal without Eprom but I don't know what it was out of. I am pretty sure it came from one of the two '7060s that I have without memcals. Does anyone know where that thread is that had ESC ID numbers? Memcal w/o Eprom is 2195146 ESC.

this is what I think I'll try to work up to in a year or so. maybe I'll be better at tuning by then...

That is nice looking... but I saw the suggested parts list and started adding it up... then injectors and an air filter and was up to $2000...

according to the instructions: It may be necessary to purchase some of the parts listed below (or the equivalent) in order to properly complete the manifold installation. Determination of equivalency is the responsibility of the consumer and Holley Performance Products does not assume that responsibility.

from what I understand the TPI stuff will work on it. I just need to find a tpi I can scavenge for parts.

[EagleMark]

That would be a lot cheaper but it's still an expensive proposition. Well worth it if a motor was built that could use it! Sure looks cool! Looks way taller than a TPI intake which should be OK with stock hood on full size truck...

at that point it would be the WOW factor I was going for. the trucks name is overkill... hood clearance isn't an issue with the 3" body lift and the motor has been lowered futher down between the framerails.
