Update what ive been working on

[5one9]

That’s three good reasons. I may repaint mine if I can save up enough for two cans of paint.

 

[PJ McCoy]

THAT is Choice!!

I love the concept of the hidden injectors and the use of two old carbs for the supposed fuel handling!

It is going to be a tall sucker but I'm sure you've already measured it a time or two.

Nice work, and fun too.

bro. d

A tall "sucker" for sure. Did you use the word Sucker for humor?lol.

 

[PJ McCoy]

Also, having enough problems building my Cad gasser don't want to "Fix Or Repair Daily" once it's running. Wouldn't want a buyer to get "Fu*** On Raw Deal" either when I sell.

But what do I know. I have a Pontiac with A Caddy engine that goes nowhere very fast. Lol

The only Ferd parts I can say that I own are a pair of Taurus electric fans and a 9"..... "Differential"..lol....

Hate to admit it, but if I had to be a ford guy, id like to mess with one of those big mel engines 462 inch I think.... They look eerily similar to a big cad though...

 

[kzhurley]

I ordered a can of cad blue from Hirsch... It actually matches the eastwood pretty close, well close enough anyways.... When I build another motor I'll paint it all again anyways... I'm doing all this efi shenanigans on a stock motor so I can sort the stuff out before I put it on a built motor.

[kzhurley]

Saturday morning is going to be pressure test and hopefully gasket material is here to make some intake gaskets..

Going to sandwich a used valley pan between gasket material. That way the pan can keep oil and such off my injectors and wiring..

 

[48Austin]

If you are going to put this thing in a '56 with Mansfield bumpers, WAY KOOL! Should shake up a few late models at stoplights! Oh, and the batwing air cleaner should be a super sleeper at car shows.

 

[kzhurley]

Progressive linkage mockup. The secondary carb starts to come in at the same time as the secondaries of the primary carb. Should make it get 40mpg.lol

 

[kzhurley]

Under intake wiring and fuel rails completed. Now just need to pressure test yet.

Intake gaskets cut, but out of gasket adhesive to bond them to the valley pan.

 

[5one9]

Nice job on this

 

[kzhurley]

Thanks. I just hope the injectors can handle the heat. I figure it shouldnt get any higher than 240° or so.

 

[48Austin]

If you are going through all of this. Then you are using an ECM. Why not use an intake temp. sensor under the intake?

 

[Darius]

Regarding any possible heat issue with the injectors:

Is your setup a return less (bypass) fuel system? If so I don't think there would be much of a problem.

I am running -8an return style with a bosch 044 pump. It should bypass alot of fuel with the stock motor. I believe that that pump and fuel system will provide 2 or 3 times what it will actually need.
Hopefully that can help keep temps down. If not, I can always open up the intake between the runners and make it an airgap type intake...

I did not think about that. It would be easy enough to add 1 more input to my megasquirt to be able to monitor that also.
