[Bulk] Re: [Diy_efi] Donegan ECU

[Steven P. Donegan]

Get a Ford A4 block or the World Products aluminum equivalent (4 bolt
mains smallblock ford) stroke to 2.9 something or so (destroked 302
basically - just find whatever the original 260 used for stroke and keep
the 'stock' 3.0 bore) and you will have a bulletproof 260 rev monster...
If they allow any head choice then there are many aluminum jewels to
choose from. Don't use a distributor at all - or simply use it as a cam
position sensor and go crank triggered. Gear this with 2.something gears
and a T5 or T56 tranny (T56 preferred - 2 overdrives) and 200 MPH should
be 'easy'... If you do the work yourself this is likely <10k worth of
motor...

If more of a budget is required let me know off list and I'll try and
fit something from pure junkyard rebuilts up - note though that the
block really should be something bulletproof for a run like this...
blowing a motor at >150 could seriously ruin your day and/or kill you..

And I will be happy to work with you on the EFI portion as well :-)

> Steven, I just entered into the world of homemade EFI, and was reading all about the Donegan ECU. I'll cut to the chase, I'm building a '32 ford roadster to run at Bonneville in a class that requires a 260 cubic inch engine. I'm looking hard a the engine  made for the Thunderbird Super Coupe. This could be modified to run carb and regular MSD type distributor. But, I would like to maintain the fuel injection and electronic ignition. This combination  in theory should run 200 mph, with a strong enough motor to hold together with lots of boost. Anyway I've just started to try and figure out the fuel injection and very interested in your project. Thanks for your time . Phil Landry
