Back in the late 90's I was replacing the engine in my daughter in laws Doge van. Which had a Jap 4 banger in it. It had a one barrel EFI unit on it. I took it home and installed it on a stock 239 flathead. I also took the fuel tank . I had this GE dyno and the engine ran very well, producing more torque than the 94 carb. unfortunately. It wouldn't run over 3000 RPM It was the simplest fuel injection system on the market. Since then I've mage a dozen or so EFI units and never got any running. I blame stupidly and not enough time to devote to it. At present I have a Megasquirt unit which cost less than 400 bucks and has the ignition system it it as well. Put a late 80's GM TB on a merc intake and your in business. When I get the time I'll work on it. But, first. Gota get my 200hp 258 engine running .
