If so what are the main obstacles, where did you get the fuel lines, how much and did they go in the stock location? Also, what's your combo, edelbrock say's with fully ported S/R torquers 2.02/1.6 and a 9.7 Comp with Hot cam I couldn't make 400HP, how close would I be at least 360HP, right?

 

It's a 305 TBI , now.

 

Are you talking about the Edelbrock ProFlo #3500 fuel injection?

 

Yeah, the performer RPM Pro Flo EFI #3500 Stand alone kit for $1925.00. Anyone do this or a similar swap and have to change out the fuel lines to larger ones?

 

BTT?!

 

I did the swap from a V6 to a 400 with the Pro Flo #3500. I used the stock fuel lines in my '86. The supply line is 3/8" and the return line is 5/16" which is what Edelbrock recommends. I put a pressure gauge on it and it holds fine under load. You can email me if you have other questions.

 

What are the specs on your engine, I think a 400 would kick *** on torque production. Does it overheat or anything? Also how easy was the tuning, Do you get alot of lowend with that single plane manifold and Have you run it at the track yet? And If that ain't enought questions then how about what's your cam, head, and Compression Ratio? Thanks

 

Obviously traction is a major problem. The 235's on the rear won't grab at all in first without really feathering the throttle and if I shift to second at more than half throttle the tires break again(700R4 with a PowerTrax No-Slip locker). Adjusting the idle setup is probably the most difficult. I'm still playing with it. The temperature has been fine this winter but the true test will be this summer(I finished the install in November). I did install a Griffin HP series aluminum radiator that has two 1-1/4" rows, and I reused my single electric fan from the V6. The compression ratio is 10.71:1. I hope to take the car to a chassis dyno to do some final tuning some time in February, and then I will get some times at the track.
