    @Mike Lawless
    In my previous post is One ecu piggyback second TBI Housing.
    Fuel Only .....

    Then another way of running Two
    TPI with ECU's each thinking it's
    a 4 cylinder.


    I deal with a tech / research and development that I can communicate with that we talk out side
    Of how its designed for common use for a Bolt on consumer / user,

    The second 1100 you would not use ECU @ all when I say piggyback ,
    It would be gutted , the only thing used
    Would be injector wiring piggyback to main Ecu in the one that is main , both TPI with internal regulator's
    Removed , Using One external
    Fuel regulator, one fuel line to
    connect / bridge both TBI housing .
    This is where laptop tunning is used
    To adjust program fuel pressure requirement & changing duty value
    The Ecu does not know 2 injectors
    Thinking One . This is done because
    Its 100pd injector if you would leave @
    The 60ish psi with 2 injectors , one in each TPI , the duty cycle would be like 20-30% may be lower. Fuel puddling.
    So lowering fuel pressure down 30ish psi in program adjust duty cycle to 65-75 % injector ,
    Less fuel & speeding up duty makes it more steady efficient .

    The Holley Dominator EFI will control two throttle bodies at the same time, but it isn't cheap and I don't know if it would work with single throttle bodies.........but if you want two TBs then its better to have one controller. Might call their tech line and ask.

    FI Tech also has the means to control 2 throttle bodies but I don't know anything about them. Saw a Camaro at the Street Rod Nats that drove up from Tennessee and had one. Guy seemed happy with it.


    Here is a slightly older book where a guy converted his to two throttle bodies and a supercharger and its a good read. Look for it on Amazon. He steps you thru his problems.

    Here are a couple pages

    Anyway it will give you some food for thought hopefully............

    This is for older Holley stuff and you may be able to use OEM throttle bodies of some kind on your flathead, like something from a later model Ranger with a 4 cyl engine driven by Holley software. Don't know if thats doable but again something to check in to. :)

    So, these EFI units are designed to work in tandem like the OP wishes. With a little detailing and creativity, I could make those look a bit more legit. 203 CFM per unit if I read that correctly.

    Oh, well how the hell is that going to work? So, it could run as a 4 cylinder? I know Austin Martin has a 12 cylinder that they claim can shut down one bank of cylinders while the catalytic converters cool on that side, and then switch banks again. Obviously just a cruising, freeway thing to save gas. So, I guess it can be done. I missed that part of the project parameters.
