Does anyone have any experience with the latest fuel injection conversions? Do you think they work okay. I would like at least 300 horse and want to get as good gas mileage as possible. It is in a 55 F100 and I don't want to mess around a computer except the one that comes with the fuel injection. Thanks in advance

 

imo youre better off with a carb... cheaper, simpler, rebuildable, and being its in a 1955 you dont have to worry about emissions. if you want the best mileage then rebuild it to about 9.5-1 compression, pick up an edelbrock 600 cfm and stay out of the secondaries. throw a mild cam, straight up timing set, long tube headers, dual exhaust, and do some porting on the stock heads, and 300 hp is pretty easy.

 

I'd stick with a carburetor too. I'm guessing you're talking 429/460 here, right? If so, this is one place where some head/manifold porting, especially the exhaust, will pay rich dividends. You'd be wise to upgrade the ignition too -something like a Jacobs for example.
