late engines
thinking of putting a later engine in the 70 coupe a later style efi but still running a dizzy type engine how hard is it to adapt the harness to an early mustang or is it better to just stay with carby on top.
there are just so many more engines in the later bracket that is all .
also has anybody had experience with the holler terminator tbi injection packages

Re: late engines
The Holley EFI setups are generally good.
Putting a late EFI engine into the car is easy enough though trimming the wiring is a timely process. Now to make it easier Ford does sell an EFI harness just for this type of job and it works out well. I would purchase the aftermarket ford harness. Another option is to use a Megasquirt ECU to drive it rather than the ford ECU - in which case it is easy to wire it up (done this a few times as well).

I will someday think of something clever to say.
Re: late engines
where to get the harness I need or what is it called
just a thought a the moment seems there are so many efi engines and the old blocks are getting exy and good ones are getting hard find without stupid prices on some of them
mine is fine I just want to pull it and keep it aside as its matcing numbers

Re: late engines
The new FiTech EFI setups are getting some good press. Cheaper than most others, and most I've read indicates unless going for massive Hp they do the job well...

Re: late engines
just read the fitech reviews will be keeping an eye on these I think should give holley something to think about
Re: late engines
very simple by the look maybe worth a go
Re: late engines
I've heard good things about the FItech system on some US forums. I'll be getting the 400hp version which is only $795US from Summit. Sydney Speed Supplies (Procomp) are the local distributors but they want $2000 plus postage.
Re: late engines
keep me posted on how it goes is that 795 for the lot and what kit is that

Re: late engines
It has been a revolution in this area, with the design and functionality of these electronic carburetors. The price is the same as a good carbi for the base unit so pump, minimal wiring and fuel lines, and exhaust bung welded is all that is needed. I sure see the appeal. It cannot be made any simpler. Now my concern with these new generation setups is that if anything goes wrong (such as a sensor dies, or ECU is cooked from heat soak) how easy is it to diagnose and then purchase the part to service the unit?

Re: late engines
fair point one would assume that maybe it might contain a fault reader in the led display menu
Re: late engines
That's exactly the appeal for me. Similar cost to a high end carb and in my case, I'll be fitting it to a stock 302 then transferring it to a 351c. No buying one carb then retuning or replacing after the engine change. Apparently the FItech tech department are very helpful.boofhead wrote:It has been a revolution in this area, with the design and functionality of these electronic carburetors.

Re: late engines
when are you fitting yours shaun
Re: late engines
I'll be buying in the next week or two but fitting it might be a while off, maybe a year or so. I'm looking at using the ba fuel pump module in a 69 tank for the fuel system. I'd like to see whether the dollar goes up a bit more. Just the small rise in the last week or two has saved $70-80 on the system.
