I found this....and yes, these are Rear Wheel numbers....through a 727, a Dana 20, and a 44 rear. That's probably good for somewhere about 20-25% parasitic loss. The numbers aren't too bad for a modified stock head piece of farm equipments.Originally Posted by eight

I can get you some pics Fred if you can't envision it
no, actually, I was stating the fact that you're a ****ing idiot if you think you can adapt an LT1 computer onto an IH motor with ease. The LT1 uses a 8 notch timing disc and a 360 degree timing disc to refrence crankshaft position. This unit is otherwise known as the opti-spark and is not easily adaptable. I think a Vortec computer would be a much easier computer to use if you wanted to put MPI on something. As far as adapting a throttle body onto a carb manifold, it is done everyday using square bore carb manifolds and throttle bodies that bolt on using the carb pattern, no machining required. So yeah, I asked if you even read what you type anymore, or just spew off a series of words you've overheard or seen in hotrod while looking at the pretty pictures.

edit: fred beat me to it. oh yeah, and he's an @$$
yes, tpi or vortec contol with bank fire would be much easier
I just look at the pretty pictures, Hot-Rod kicks ass!

who reads hot rod? thats for queer Jeep parts guys to beat off to
point is oh angry one, i would like investigate other efi options, other tha tbi and and AL would make that easier. It seems that cam timing is the only large hang up for using lt1 efi, but a machiest friend of mine said he could build me a solution if it came to that.. I have also looked into Hal-tech and Fast for efi option.
anything that is added on is going to take addaption, for the sensors to gain info. just depends which way you want go.

hey brandon, why don't take a crack at building an EFI system first, then decide what is easy and what will work instead of coaching from the peanut gallery.

Go with batch fire mpfi controlled by megasquirt. It can also easily be programmed as a fuel adder and ignition retarder for those serious about power.
