Hi Randy, The injection is a Haltech F9A (fuel only) and I used their idle control unit also, Its a closed loop system with oxy sensor as I wanted to be able to start the engine without touching the gas. The throttle bodies are 50mm with 30lb/hr injectors (mercury xr4i), I actually bought these second hand so I don't know what make they are. The airbox is a one off made from aluminum, you will notice that its one piece which has now been changed. We realised later that this design would not allow it to expand with the growth of the engine.

Now that is an awesome motor car-how could you ever part with it after all the work???? Bet the new owner still can't believe how lucky he got.Well done.

Yeah its hard to believe that I actually lost intrest in it. The new owner is pretty happy with the end result.

Hi there, yes looks great really nice. Two questions plz, what aprox? does it cost to fit injection? this inc the throtle bodies, pump and computor and general plumbing etc? Have you any idea on the HP too? regards brent.

No probs, will work on an article in next month or so. Have tons of build photos also. Where should I send all this?
