Hilborn Injection

I was reading about Hilborn Injection in an issue of Classic Trucks this morning and wondered if anyone tried Hilborn-style injection on their 351M/400s?

did the article mention that mechanical injection systems are not very part throttle friendly?

there are quite a few modern look-alike sytems that mimic mechanical injection that are said to work very well in a street application

Do any of them fit 400s?

I understand the mechanical Hilborns are a no-go for street applications, but the electronic Hilborns work very well for the street.

i just loaded a bunch of pics to my gallery,
1972 Ford Ranchero multiple carb, EFI and S/C pictures, videos, and sounds | SuperMotors.net

all the vintage pieces are gonna be 4V, the first 351C injection and IR intakes were Boss 302 units that were cut & widened or fit for a valley cover... the same would probably need to be done for a 400 unless the 351C intake spacers are used

i was hoping that i had a pic & info on a 2V Individual Runner type intake. i wanna say Scott Cook of Aus has made some but i can't find any info there either, he doesn't plaster the web with his stuff but a Pantera website might be the place to find it if it exists

i'm 98% sure i've seen a pic or 2 of a manifold set for 2V heads, probably from Aus

now the Hilborn website doesn't come up. i can't remember where i saw retro electronic throttle bodies/injectors that use the Weber mount flanges?

$5-9 THOUSAND for a Hilborn EFI:

Bolt-On EFI Systems - Hilborn and Holley - Hot Rod Magazine

Plus making your own manifold, as they don't list a kit for the 400.

Maybe if you have a Pantera this would be a cool thing to do and you wouldn't miss the $10K.....
