Hey,
can anyone tell me if there is a company that does complete EFI kits for Cleveland V8s (inc manifolds,plenums etc..)?

Cheers, thanks in advance..

By the way, if anyone knows a website, it would be appreciated..

cheers again..

depending on how extreem you want to go, as there are a few ways of doing it, I think there's a setup on ebay right now for a 8x50mm tb's, manifold, wiring & computer for around the $2000 mark don't know if injectors were included but I saw it a couple of days ago, so it may be over, just look up manifolds in cars boats & bikes.
injected clevo ,good combo when tuned right
& try Injection Perfection in sydney, I hear they have done a few clevo's now

Thanks for that. Will check that out. ....

injection is alot of money by the time you set it up when you can buy a edelbrock or a well built quadrajet carb for e few hundred dont underestamate a quadrajet.

Am starting to lean towards a carb, as I have been pricing up injection parts and systems. Yeah, they are a bit beyond me at the moment....

A well tuned carby with electronic ignition works well!!!!

ICE Ignitions in melbourne is one of the best....

There was a company in Sydney called Active performance that made a twin throttle body injection manifold....not sure if they still around but it looked really nice and worked well, i think they used to work in with EMS or injection perfection worth talking to but expensive.....i was thinking about it a while back

Now i got custom build 700holley with 4 cnr idle and it runs with perfect air fuel ratio almost as good as efi

I think Ive made up my mind....dollars rule, and as much as I would like an injection set up........maybe later.
Need to know now, if I can keep the BTR 4 stage auto. Would it handle the torque of a nicely tuned 8, and if so, being computer controlled, would I be able to keep the engine computer just for the tranny?

i have seen some good results from the holley throttle body injection on stock to mild motors.
fairly cheap to buy compared to multi point and not much more than a carby

Here's mine...

Hey, xr9ute.
What did an EFI system like that set you back (if you dont mind me asking)? Also, is it all custom, or can you buy those parts?

holley do an injection set up, works well 2

Cost? this should give you some idea;
5.0 Falcon harness and sensors $100
5.0 Falcon or Mustang EECIV $220
5.8 or 7.5L TFI distributor(the 7.5L one will drop straight in...the 5.8L requires a distributor gear change) $250-$500
5.0 or 5.8 fuel rails $20?
Injectors $200-$800(depends on power level)
MAF $150- $400(depends on power level)
T-body $100+ (depends on power level)
Fuel pump $100+(depends on power level)
TwEECer $780-$970 (may not be required at all for mild engines)
The intake is just a modified single plane carb job(Offy port-o-sonic) and the plenum is custom fabricated from sheet ally. A better option would be to modify an Edelbrock Victor 5.8 or TFS 351 intake to fit like Thomas did.....
http://www.detomaso.nu/~thomast/efi/
These intakes provide much better low end torque than the single plane that I used. I only used the single plane because at the time the only available 351w EFI intake was the Ford GT40 which does not have a large enough runner cross-section for a tough Cleveland.
So it looks like a minimum of $1500 for the EFI bits to get you going plus the TwEECer if you need it. Figure on about $1000 for the 351w EFI intake like the Edelbrock #3887 http://edelbrock.carshopinc.com/product ... 20183/3887 plus $300-$500 for mods.
That puts you at about $3000-$4000. Of course you can likely save a bit on that by buying a complete 2nd hand EFI engine or wreck with all the stuff on it. If you buy a 5.0 you won't be able to use the distributor(smaller body and smaller oil pump drive) but everything else you can and if it's from a Falcon you'll have all your BTR trans wiring as well.
You can use the BTR auto but it will need some beefing up to handle a cleveland. You can use the BTR controller from an EB-EL Falcon stand alone if you don't go the EFI route. You'll need to fit a TPS to the carby amongst other things.

Hey, thanks a lot for all that. Thats not too bad....
I have a clevo. I like something different....not too many people have cleveland powered EAs.....

No wuckers....always happy to help those who don't take the common route.
Ive worked on a couple of 351w powered EB's and I have seen one EA 351C(amazingly with a thermoquad and registered) and an EF 351C drag car. I believe only one pipe needs to be modified on a set of X series Falcon pacemaker headers for clearance of the steering shaft.
You may also want to consider a 4R70 trans from the U.S. This can easily withstand a mild 351C in stock form and you can use a '94-'95 5.0 Mustang EECIV which will run both your engine and trans. The TwEECer will allow you to dial the whole thing in...including your trans.
