I believe this is more DIY_EFI related so I'll relay it to the list

The 440 is using an Offy 2 - 4bbl intake that has been modified to accept
some bolt on injector bosses that I made.

I chose the 8V-71 blower to provide clearance for the injectors & rails (it
has tapered sides for those of you that haven't seen one)

An adapter plate (1/2" aluminum plate) mates the manifold to the blower.

I had intended to use a LT-1 ECU and am reworking a cast aluminum front
cover to accept the LT-1 cam driven optical distributor.

Rob at Force fuel injection told me that i better add enrichment fuel to the
top of the blower (roots have low efficiency you know) to provide some
additional cooling so I'm working on that now.

I dunno how is the best way to drive the additional injectors though - any
ideas on an inexpensive additional injector driver would be appreciated
(Question - is it possible - or practical - to use an OEM ecu with just
enough inputs to make it work as an injector driver)

Thers's a lot more to talk about, but I'll let you people ask what you want
to hear about.

Oh - no there's no home for it yet - I sold my '73 Cuda to my best friend up
in Maine. He allowed that we should put it in when i get it done.
