Pt. 2...Converting a Mopar 440 to GM TBI

[Shannen Durphey]

There are a couple of pages which may be of interest to the mopar to gm efi
conversion fans.

This is a jeepsler (or is that Cry-AMC?) conversion.

Frederick Brittweiser has converted a mopar truck engine to efi, and he's done a
bunch of other wild things, too.  I'm not sure if his pics are still up, but he
left plenty of notes and links in the DIY_EFI and GMECM archives.  If nothing else,
look for the stories about turbo engines deliberately blown up on the dyno.  Fun
reading.
