We've done quite a few injections, from mechanical to electronic. This is one

way that I've done, for my brothers Camaro. I started with a Victor Jr.

intake, and welded a spud onto each runner, just prior to the entrance to the

head. I then machined those 8 spuds for a Bosch electronic fuel injector. I

also made up 2 fuel rails to accept the 2 rows of 4 injectors. Kinsler then

supplied a 950 CFM throttle body and various sensors, to bolt onto the intake.

Take a look at some of the 502 Merc Cruiser boat engines..That's how they are.



That whole deal was only about an inch, or so taller than his original

carburetor. The good news was that engine, on the dyno, went from 577 HP to

605 HP. But, it took us a whole day to get the electronics and fuel curve set-

up.



I'm sure Dave D. can set you up in the injection department. The throttle

bodies are available from various vendors, but they aren't cheap. I think my

brother's was about $900. I don't know how much the whole deal was, but I

would guess, somewhere about $3500.
