For my SBC plans those that have been following the build know that I am weeding threw EFI systems and what would work best taking into account all the suggestions that have been provided.Educating myself.

Pat advised me to be careful about rich situations washing down bearings and ruining engines.I do listen to him.In fact it brought to mind that the reason behind this build is I bought a V8 donor Astro van and during a reseal/inspection of the engine I found the rod bearing where almost shot.This is a crate short block with less than 100,000 miles on it.The previous owner I think during the V8 swap just extended the injector wires,added 65lb cop car injectors lifted and never did a chip burn.It is now the only thing that makes sense.

So I am in the process of building a 383.The thought occurred to me that sometimes tuning these EFI's there is some trial and error.Certainly not the best thing for a new build engine.

So here is what I am thinking.How about doing the break-in setting the rings etc with a carb set-up??.Then after I feel the break-in on the engine is complete,then install a best case EFI.

Pat and anyone else your input is certainly welcome.

Thanks

Oh I am thinking of a Edelbrock performer intake with a Edelbrock 600 CFM vacuum secondary's and a HEI dizzy.Any comments??.
