I believe Fitech is MAP, but so much simpler to install than what your article had you doing.
Now you get to tell me why your way is so much better, right?
I never said it was better. I simply suggested the system.
The jist I got from the OP was that he wanted a somewhat OEM appearance. TBI (or CFI) would offer a somewhat OEM appearance without the usual upper/lower intake system.
What you are offering is (IMO) akin to opening a hood and seeing a FORD engine with an EDELBROCK and HEI IGN.
If you want GM (your system depends on GM components) just stick a 350 in it and walk away.
How is your ECM accessed for system diagnosis? Everyday scan tool? This system is all OEM but the MAF sensor. The ECM is a common A9L which has been re-burned but a common stock replacement (very common) should get you home.
It's just a discussion. No need to be called out on the parade field...
Well there are plenty of things that make maf and sequential fire a better fuel injection system, I just figured that's where you where heading.
How dare you suggest putting a chevy in a Ford! that's just wrong!
AND just because one is using a piece of equipment that has GM sensors and such doesn't scream Chevy and even though I do use a HEI distributor, it doesn't matter how good it is when Chevy put it in the wrong place!
I get wanting to look factory ford, but my point is its a lot less complicated with running the fitech, hence is a viable option. Except for a few wires, it looks just like a carb.
That's another thing to I would rather keep everything ford. And my plan would be pretty much the same thing as the mass- flo kit except mine should end up being a lot cheaper. But if I use a wiring harness from a 87- 93 mustang the only hard part of the swap will be the intake. Every thing else will be plugging in the sensers or hooking up 3 wires

There you go, you want to use the TRICK-FLOW 351C lower and the OEM upper with take-off parts from a donor?
Sorry I haven't posted any updates but I've decided to weld in bungs for injectors into a carb intake then build a adaptor to mount the throttle body to the intake and get all the electronics from a foxbody but I haven't had any luck finding a complete harness and computer for a reasonable price yet
I just had a thought about the intake. I know I can put a 400 intake on backwards because I've done it before. But does anybody know if ill be able to put a windsor intake on backwards so where I had to cut off the thermostat housing will be in the back and out of the way
Ill use this to keep up with the cost of going efi. So far I have a throttle body and maf senser from a 2nd gen lightning that dad gave me. And I just picked up a holley street dominator intake for $50. I also have a factory 5.0 fuel rail for laying around but I'm not sure if I'm going to use it yet
Love the ingenuity, and the effort to make a ported EFI system......I went with FiTech myself, and I'll openly admit that central fuel injection is never going to be as efficient as a direct port sort of situation......but.......until somebody comes out with a dedicated intake manifold for the 351m/400, I've felt that central EFI is an acceptable compromise. Besides, with the air cleaner on, it looks basically like a carbureted engine, which adheres to your desire to keep it looking relatively stock. Regardless, good luck with the build........maybe there's a big name manufacturer lurking out there somewhere that's realizing us 335 lunatics would like to have ported EFI for our plants too!
Keep in mind that the amount of attention to the fuel system should be the same as the engine........external, in-line pumps mounted on the frame rail will work, but they generate more heat than in-tank pumps, and have a commensurately shorter life span. I don't know what direction you'll be taking the fuel system, but I would recommend going with a dedicated in-tank fuel system with return line. Some would say a return line slowly heats the fuel, but if the tank is large enough, that effect is negligible. Myself, I went with the Aeromotive Phantom 340 fuel system, and put it into the oversized 38 gallon tank. That way, I simplified my fuel system (was two tanks, with mechanical pump), and it should last a long time. Anyway, just an idea for when you get the intake issue solved.
Noob to this group, but not fords...
I am looking to Swap a 400 over ti injected for a Rock buggy project...
found this post...
was curious if the OP ever got done with the project or not.?
