My bud's car is all custom, home built, with a throttle body off a ford pickup, a fabricated intake box, seamless 316 tubing (1/2") all the way from the electric pump and aluminum cell, etc. The MSD box is on the kick panel on the passenger side, and has a place to just plug in with the laptop. He has taken out quite a few really hot turbo ricers with that thing.

I have been planning an EFI set-up since the late nineties, and now that my El Camino is running again I am doing the research and I'll start putting the pieces together for a factory TPI conversion for mt ZZ4.
I highly recommend the swap manuals from Jags that Run. |

Lloyd Elliott is the LT1-guru, well known for head & cam packages that make very impressive power... just not as impressive as what's achievable with an LSX.

I am still considering the Fast EZ system. I like that its all inclusive and handles up to 600HP.

I also have a '95 LT1 in my Skylark. Car is still in the build process though. Would have loved to go the LS route but it exceeded my budget.

My 79 El Camino (GMC Sprint) originally had a V6 and a 4 speed saginaw but I swapped the 6 and the saginaw for a L98 TPI with 5 speed out of a 3rd gen Camaro. Everything almost bolted in and the only thing I had to do was come up with a throttle cable and I installed electric fans with Bosch relays. The computer fit up under the dash by the HVAC and I didn't have to modify much. I did end up with a cowl induction hood and Monte Carlo SS interior. My car was a factory bench with no console and it had this little plastic hump on the floor. Best turn key car I ever sold. Wish I still had it but it was either that or the 70 Chevelle

I have the Edelbrock pro-flow EFI to put on my 383, got it used on E-bay for about 1100.00. I hope to get the car running in summer 2012. We'll see... time and money, not enough of either. Doing lot more than the engine to the car.
I installed Howell EFI(TBI) (cost about 1200)on my 6 cyl 78 Jeep CJ7. works very well, has an odd issue when warm sometimes trying to go uphill at speed. Never has problems when crawling on the trail, I like it much more than with the carb. |
