I reasoned that flathead V8 ports would flow better if the sharp corner of the bowl behind the valve stem was filled and blended into the bend in...
I did my first one of these on an assembled engine so any major machining was out of the question. I drilled a hole in each port for the injector...
Here are a few pictures of my injector mounting system. Not great shots I'm afraid but they should convey the general idea. The mounting blocks...
I actually tried to attach some pics to my post but for some reason it didn't work. I'm a bit of a klutz when it comes to things like that. I will...
I just discovered this thread and wish I'd found it sooner. It covers a few subjects I'd also pondered while planning my most recent build - a...
A common cause of leaky fuel bowls is a distorted housing. They are often made of pot metal which suffers from "creep". Over time, the housing...

Assuming the transmission you use has a mechanical speedo drive, getting the speedo to work is just a matter of coming up with a cable of the...

Hi Kerker, just discovered this thread and I am impressed with your setup. Congratulations! Relocating the injectors to squirt at the backs of the...
I generally get good responses from the general public to my old cars, ranging from smiles and thumbs-up gestures to "I had my first shag in one...
When I was a youngster learning flathead lore the word was that 5T cams came from truck engines and were a slightly "hotter" profile than other...
An outfit in Australia called Kalmaker can reprogram GM ECUs. I don't have their address but I'm sure Google will find them.
I wouldn't presume to advise you what to do but I would like to comment on a few points that no one else has mentioned. Throttle body injection...
I've just seen that rarest of things, a hot rod chassis with a fully functioning X-member. So many guys go to great lengths to box the side rails...
Just caught up with your post on the carbs converted to EFI. I wondered why you still had venturis in there when they serve no purpose with...
Hi Vergil, I liked your pictures of the cut block and was interested to read that you're thinking about putting injectors in the block. I did this...
