Might be of intrest for my toad if it weren't for the fact the front money represents nearly what I have in it in total.� It runs fine, and even kinda idles when it's warm but only kinda.� PO (Frank the Lurker) said he tried FI on it but wasn't happy and went back to the edelbrock carb that's on it.� Idles around 12-1500 and sounds like John Force at the line.

A friend of mine I worked with at AT&T built a Factory-5 Cobra replica and after 2 years or so located an aftermarket EFI system that uses all Ford parts and electronics. The throttle body bolts to the intake just like a carb so you get to use a stock A/C assembly. It is a slick system and the little 302 goes like scalded stink. Parts are readily available, low in cost and reliable. It was the upfront cost that will make you cry....$3500 or so!! I'll call him next chance I get and get the name of the company.
