I have a 8 stack setup on a 426 HEMI and am looking for the pump mounting installation information? I have a bracket but am not sure what location and how it attaches to the engine and pump orientation. If someone can direct me to a information sheet or picture I would greatly appreciate it.
With out seeing pics of what you have, Options to drive pump can be Cam driven Belt driven Distributor driven Crank driven
Fuel injection enterprises has a wealth of tech articles for MFI systems, as well as parts. For the most part of what I've seen, the fuel pump mount is pretty universal, and the bracket that attaches it to the engine is specific. For example, the fuel pump mount for my air cooled VW, was the same as for a big block Chevy. Just the bracket that mounts to the engine is different. If you are not running a water pump, or if the water pump is remote, the pump can be cam driven.
Like the guys said above,,,,,that is a crank drive piece . You will need the specific bracket for the block,,,,,which your piece will attach to . Then you will need the drive mandrel and pulley for the crankshaft,,,,,,,and the drive belt . They work great . And,,,,I’m assuming you have a three way fuel cutoff ? Tommy
The center pic bracket is a mount bracket. But it could be for anything. Call FEI. They have the pieces you need
The center pic would bolt to block or head ,engine plate , I donot know if its for a Hemi , do any of the bolts patten line up to block or head bolt holes on front ? With some cardboard & plate steel /aluminum make a pump mount, It does not seem you have experience with mecanical Injection, be aware it's not just a bolt on and go , M I is Complex but simple
The 2 places where I'd guess that bracket would mount would be on the front face of the block where the water pump normally mounts left side or right. (So no conventional water pump/ housing.) Or maybe it works with a water pump and spacers/long bolts. That's where 3 bolts are arranged as such. (Assuming it's 3 bolts, kinda hard to see in that pic.)
Absolutely true and cannot be emphasized enough. Another question... Is the pump itself the right size for the motor? And is it in good condition? Getting the system set up properly won't be easy, and most likely will not be cheap. Trust me on that one. Back in the day in my first foray into the MFI thing, I burnt down a fresh 440. Torched the piston, head AND block within a the space of a single pass down the track. For those not versed in MFI, there's a lot more to it than just the stacks. Some folks who want the look of MFI, would be FAR better off having the injector manifold converted to using EFI nozzles.
If you are serious about running it , you should have the pump sent off to be flowed. You will get a flow sheet back that shows the pressures at gives rpm to help figure out the bypass springs,shims and pills. Typically that slingshot bracket when used on other applications mounts on the front of the intake valley area. But in this application it may be located somewhere else too. Do you have the belt and lower drive hub/pulley? Also you’ll need to make sure it has the proper spool in the barrel valve for the fuel you intend to use and the low speed / high speed bypasses are there and set up as well some of the dirt racing injection set ups we run now also have a 3rd bypass used for a low rpm stumble valve.
The bracket you have in the middle pic ,seems to be a homemade piece,,,it would probably still work just fine though . The original parts are a casting,,,,, very much like the bracket with the slot in it . However,,,,it does not bolt anywhere near the water pump mount,,,,or the intake manifold area . This mount bolts on the front face of the block,,,,,,down to the right of the crank . It will bolt onto the holes from the timing cover . I marked this pic to show you where . Tommy
I will look and see but that makes sense. I have several of the same brackets that are identical and one is very old and goes back to the mid 60’s. I am going through everything to see what is missing and get checked out.
Ohh,,,,I see you know Alkydigger,,,,,,,he is really sharp on fuel injection,,,,,especially for Mopars . I see you also have the majority of parts needed for the setup,,,,,you should be good . Tommy
Looks like you have a -0 pump, if it's in good shape it should handle gas, but probably not alcohol on that big of an engine. What do you plan to run this engine in ?
