NQ,
Basically what I did was buy the dual port end pieces, fuel rails and
carefully sized injectors from CB. At that point, you can take almost any
old center section and massage it around to fit your throttle body of
choice...
The thing that seems important is to try to stick with the
I,ve seen a few air cooled engines running the early rabbit mechanical
FI. Works really slick except you need to run the air box which takes
space . There was a German guy here in town who did tons of FI change
overs using all wrecking yard parts. 10 dollar day at pick a part was
his best friend
Thanks for the message Dave. I really don't care to do original FI. When I
see the prices of the parts for
OE stuff, I'd rather go with off the shelf components. Even those are
priced bad enough. COUGH
I've been seeing all this return line stuff, but I found a diagram (might be

I would be careful of one thing when using a tee - make sure there's no
way you can get an air bubble between the tank and the tee - or the pump
might never prime. A separate return line ensures that can never happen.

There is one advantage to welding/brazing a return port at the tank, and
that is to thoroughly remix the circulated fuel with the fuel still in the
tank. Fuel that is delivered to the rails but not consumed by the injectors
normally returns to the tank heated by its exposure to the hot engine
When looking for donor parts, sticking with one from a similar displacement
engine is usually recommended because you'd expect the throttle butterfly
diameter to be properly metered. Sharkey runs a TB from a 5.0 Mustang so

I'd like to start collecting parts to do fuel injection conversions on the

sensor, injections, rails, fuel pump, plenum, dual port intakes, etc. that
they'd like to sell. It seems you can use most of the stock stuff and
