    These links will explain the sizes, connector nomenclature and other stuff. It is mostly Ford info, but you can apply it to the Deka injectors.

    So basically I run the new fuel lines, install the throttle body, hook up throttle cable, hook up the fuel pump, install the EFI intake, fuel rails and hook up the wiring harness and computer and I'm good to go? what's gonna be the toughest part of the installation?

    the install is easy.. the tuning is where you get slowed down on.. how built is the engine?

    it's a low compression (8.7:1) 331 engine. stock block, high performance pistons and rods and AFR heads. It does 350hp to the tires right now on the last dyno with a T5 tranny.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!

    No they're not. He's running 185cc AFR heads. They make great power, just wait till he adds boost into the mix.

    guess, we will find out on the dyno day.. I believe he is coming.. I had a 9.5 comp 302 with Windsor SR 200cc heads, with the "POS" E303.. never knew the HP levels. but the car on a radial would go 12.8 at 112.. and I highly doubt it was in the 400 at the wheels range.. but hey, you'll never know.. the dyno is just a tool.. the track is the real measuring stick..

    How are you going to run your fuel lines? Those have been the biggest quandry for me, I am looking at fitting a mustang tank in, and running new hard lines, and as an added bonus I will have an easier time with my dual exhaust.

    I had an early style mustang gas tank modified with a relocate pickup and baffles. So it shouldnt be too hard on my setup.

    accufab arrived, could have gotten it used for $200, got a brand new one (well, at least it was never used) for a little over $200.

    and got the fuel injectors for $330, not too bad, brand new. I think I should be ok going with 60lb injectors. Don't think I can make more than 500 hp on this engine with the supercharger anyways.
