I'm not sure when this will be happening, as I'm also currently disabled, but, I fully intend to take lots of pics and keep everyone posted as to the progress.

Swapping the Ford 302 with MAF and an AOD is far easier and cheaper than messing with Megasquirt and Gearvendors. Similarly, swapping to a Magnum Mopar smallblock with sequential MAF EFI and an A500 or A518 and all the associated computers and wiring is also far cheaper than dealing with aftermarket vendors. If you are lucky and get the right parts, you can even do the swap without pulling the engine block (the worst part of this swap, but even a motor swap is easier than months of fiddling around with switches and spark maps on an aftermarket computer.

Idle is better, accel is better, and i am able to run it as lean or rich as i like. Completely tuneable. I have a cam and headers and got just over 17mpg at 70mph on my last trip. Now i want to try e85. And i am about to try a turbo, the ecu will see boost pressures up to 21psi. I just want 5psi. | | | Re: Convert to Fuel injection can be cheap!!
