Hey Scott, Yes I live in Pittsfield near Concord NH. So your 455 is a TPI setup not TBI right? Actually I think Pontiac had fuel injection in the late 50's ... not sure what kind of setup , surely didn't have a computer :) maybe experimental or race only Super Chief ??? Still getting my feet wet with this idea ... maybe over my head ... going to read the book I got coming soon as it gets here. Probably should start with the chevy single tbi first but the Pontiac block is done and crank is in work. Chevy is going in an 84 Cutlass with a 4-speed stick conversion. My 89 parts p/u is a tbi with stick ... was thinking everything including wiring might be usable on the Cutlass. The donor tbi 350 still runs but tranny missing 2 gears and it smokes alittle. I have most of the motor parts and fastburn heads are finished. I haven't chosen Pontiac heads yet, have about 15 sets ... was looking for about 90cc chambers and like 6x-8 ports, need to be angle milled quite a bit they are 101cc, just got a set of late 46 supposed to be 89cc most likely be one of the 2. The Pontiac d-ports can be ported to flow very well ... I will be setting them up myself initially. Will probably leave 350 running as a model to help if I choose to pursue dq-2tbi 1st, I may try and if I fail I have plenty of carbs to throw on the Pontiac ... wouldn't hurt to get the custom motor running and broken in with a carb so I can see how much the fuel injection improves it later either. Have a trips manifold and a 64 GTO that would be cool fuel injected ... that might work progressive as the linkage came that way ... center carb most of the time then the secondaries are the outer 2 ... 2injector tbi for center and 2 singles for either end might work nice. Will start collecting parts, would like these 2 motors to run this year. Keith
