    Affordable Fuel Injection

     



    Check out a company called Affordable Fuel Injection. They make a real neat set-up that is very reliable and dependable. It works on any make of engine and you wind up turning it into a GM TBI system. You never have to worry about hard starts or anything once its installed. I put them on all kinds of vehicles in our shop. Especially those guys that dont drive their cars every day. It;s really a neat set-up and works great.

    Injection.... Not even a contest. Driveablity is so much better with injection. Find a donor 5.0 car and go for it. If it's a mild to wild small block, then some of the EFI companies have the goodies to make it work on a wild motor too.

    injection is great to a certain point of wild... theres only so wild of a setup you can affordably run fuel injection on before carburation becomes the better option
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

    My cousin has a motor that came from an 89 Mustang and the engine is mine if I want it. The main issue was my saddle gas tanks, but now believe that it is workable with the tanks.

    FI is great when it works. When it acts up you'll wish you had a carb. Your choice.
