efi 370
Howdy all,
Brand new to the board.
Well, you guessed it. I own a 370 and want more power or better fuel economy. I have read most of the posts dealing with the 370 and the general consensus is to have the 370 melted down and buy a 429. Easy enough but not my style. I would like to install efi and a digital ignition. This would mostly be so I could look at it and say "see I did that". I could always yank out the old intake, drill it and build fuel rails, but if an intake from a 88+ 460 will fit it then the hard part is done for me. So will the manifolds swap?
Thanks

Thanks ludis
Head swap....Hmmm. That's not so bad. And they would add a little volume to the chamber. Or am I wrong? This definitly would help if an induction system were added.
How about another ????? . I was going to build a crank angle sensor out of an old dizzy but this route would immediatly commit me to using an edis. Will the crank angle sensor from the 460 be adaptable? I'm not sure where this is located. If it's on the front of the crank then I see a problem of compatibility.
I can't wait to hit the JY.
