In an effort to beat the Cheavs in the late 50's I built a 342 stroke Hilborne Fuel injected "Y" block. This drove a 37 cad/La-Sal trans. 4.11 rear in a 56 Ford HT. Unortunately it took too long to get the stupid factor undercontrol. By the time I got the engine tuned any way near right, them money just ran out and the engine was sold for 500 bucks and a rebuilt 292 Y block. It was a great education. Those Hilborns are trickiy.
