406 Small block with TBI
Anyone have a 400 small block with TBI on it?
I have a 406 small block sitting in my garage I would like to put into my car. Right now it has a 87 350 TBI out of a truck. If anyone is succesfully running a 406 in their car with TBI I'd like to know what they are using for a cam, injector sizing etc.
My 406 is a 1970 block with the stock 882 heads milled .030 to 72 CC's. The heads have 2.02 and 1.60 vales and the bowls are ported. It also has 5.7 rods and forged pistons with a 9.6 to one compression ratio. The cam specs are .467 and .488 lift and 224 and 234 dur. I had this engine in a 81 Camaro a while back and ran mid 13's with a 650 double pumper. But I want to put TBI on it for the drivability. I am all set up to burn chips. I have done tuning on the 350 so that is no problem. -Rod-

Elkabong and Ben 73 on this forum and crossfire forum run 383's with TBI. also there was a 400 TransAm on this forum a while back that was TBI with vafpr installed. 2 barrel TBI's have their limitations however.
