Gidday All,

I am considering building myself a street rod version of a 1962 Chrysler =
Valiant R or S series. This was a 'compact' that I understand was also =
sold in the US and in Canada, and the bodies were imported to Australia =
to be built in right hand Drive.
It originally had a slant 6, 215 cubic inch motor. As this is not really =
all that quick by modern standards, I was considering re-fitting a later =
chrysler small block 318 or 340 cubic inch motor, and fitting electronic =
fuel injection, in preference to a Holley or smaller capacity Predator =
500 to 700 cfm carburettor, and fitting the motor with a supercharger. =
In the smaller body chrysler, with a getrag  or A904 or A727 =
torqueflight gearbox & a ford 9" LSD backing it up, she really should =
move off the mark rather nicely.

After doing some reading, I have not found any after market EFI kits for =
this kind of motor here in Australia. Unfortunately we stopped building =
Chryslers here in the late 1980's. Do electronic fuel injection units =
exist for small block V8 chryslers, and if so, where can I get them, and =
who would best be able to advise setting them up properly?=20

Kind regards
