Hi ho-
Got a few older Hilborn/Crower intakes collecting dust and would like
to convert them to EFI. Trying to avoid welding in the injector bungs as
the
heat causes distortion, which will likely require the intakes to be
remachined
in order to straighten them out. However- I'm wondering why you can't
machine
an intermediate adapter to hold the injectors and bolt in place underneath
the
ram tubes. I'm sure this will work ok at part and full throttle. My
concern is
that, at idle with the throttle blades closed, the injectors will be
positioned
above the blades (instead of below them like most setups) so it might not
idle so well. On the other hand, tbi's & carbs work that way, and the two
Crower
mechanical intakes I have also work that way (but I DO realize these
weren't
meant for cars who's main purpose was idling!). Still, the more I think
about
it, the more I think it will probably work.
Has anyone tried this?
cheers,
Bill
