Ford V8 efi

[Sandy]

Thanks, the one thing that may be a problem with injection on the 289's is
that I'm sure that you will have to do some magic to the EEC-IV's to make
them suitable for the windy 289's. I'm guessing that you could run one with
some good parts all day long at 8500+. The dinky little stroke make it hard
not to want to ;-) 

By the way, I just say an odd injector/carb from barry grant fuel systems.
Half man half dog, but it might be interesting retro to a car that you
can't/don't want to hack up the mainfold for injection. Looks pretty well
made (the idea on non-port injection is a different story).
