Hi Gary,
Yes, my engine will be EFI. I wouldn't say I'm a computer expert but I got plenty of factory training during my time as a Ford dealership mechanic and I know which end of the wire to plug into the computer. I have set up aftermarket engine management systems on other engines. The injection set up will weigh more than a single carb set up by the time you add in all the sensors, wiring harness, return line fuel system, and processor but it should be minimal, maybe 5 to 10 pounds. I have most of the hard parts for my injection set up but I'm waiting to buy the management system untill I absolutley need it. Just like any computer system, there is constant changes and upgrades being made by the manufacturers. If I buy a system now, with my luck a few months down the road a better and less expensive system will be available. The 2 systems I'm considering now are made by Electromotive and F.A.S.T. I'm waiting for the wide band O2 option to be introduced by Electromotive. I'll post photos as the system comes together.
--Mike

Your alum engine. Have you gotten far enough along with the FI project to determine it's weight compared to a alum intake and a single carb. I am a FI fan, original or not, precise fuel metering surely improves HP.
I assume it's electronic and not mechanical?
Don't tell me your a computer wizard as well?
Gary
P.S. Enjoyed your pictures on the alum oiling journals.
