292 fuel injection
Ya its me again.lol. I also have a 292 in a 1964 ford f100. ya i got two. anyways, do you think that the intake manifold can be retrofitted with bungs for the injectors? Is ther a certain angle those injectors are supposed to sit? as far as the fuel injection system i plan on using the ford 5.0 system and one of those spider elbows they use on the 302's. Anybody ever tried injecting one of these motors. If i could do it i'd rather use mechanical fuel injection but i have been told they aint very good for the street. any input would be greatly appreciated.

The latest issue I think of Hot Rod has a Q&A about injector angles and location. Pick it up to get your answer.
I've seen a throttle body injection adapted to a 292 and it worked fine, but that's a much simpler install.

A freind of mine in Wisconsin adapted his 61 Unibody 292 to fuel injection. He used the throttle body from a 86 5.0 liter. His truck gets 26mpg. He doesn't have computer access right now. There used to be photos in the tech section ofBadgerland F100's website about the fuel injection and his adaptinf a T-5 transmission to his Y-block.

I have pictures of his truck, and the throttle body injection system he put on there.
He badged the truck with a chromed "Fuel Injected" trim piece - that sure turns a head or two.
And yes, it will do 70 faster than anything!
