Has anyone converted their model 350's to MPI?

Would think fuel savings at cruise and below would be substantial

Not anywhere near enough to pay for the conversion.

"Ok, Now that that was brought

"Ok, Now that that was brought up, ABOUT how much would something like this run?

Reason being, ...at what point in run time, MIGHT this actually be an advantage? We spent about $3500 for gasoline last summer. Might that figure be $2800? with $700 that year going for the conversion?"
 
"edelbrock has a conversion ki

"edelbrock has a conversion kit for automobile and their engineer e mailed me how to install an O2 sensor, I also had a plan on how to install one.

I believe the conversion can be done for about 2000 per engine."
 
You can usually find used syst

You can usually find used systems on e-bay very reasonable. They are often sold as a complete motor in need of rebuilding or stripped from a motor that has expired.

If given the choice I would definitely choose MPI over TBI.
 
"TBI would be a waste of money

"TBI would be a waste of money, i considered the holley converstion a few years ago and discussed with a holley dealer who said it was junk."
 
"Cant remember the dealer, May

"Cant remember the dealer, May have been Don Hillman in Ft Lauderdale. Anyhow it was a marine engine dealer who was listed on Holley's page as a dealer for them."
