Well it's been a while since I’ve posted......been busy in the Navy.

Anyway I have a few months to get my 351w out rebuilt and stabbed back in. I'm planning a mild/budget build on my spare '69 block, stock heads ported, ARP fasteners and good quality pistons, rods seals rings yadda yadda. I also think I’m going to go with a Fuel injection set-up for the induction. I've been eyeballing the Mass-flo system. Anyone on here have experience with this system?

Comments welcome!

The mass-flow system is very nice, but very costly. $2500 the last time I checked.

I decided to use a megasquirt ECU.. mostly because it gave me a fully tuneable EFI system for less than 1/2 the price of the mass-flo system. BUT, the megasquirt isn't for everyone... you need to be confident will a little electrical work as well as have a good understanding of how an EFI system works. It's not a "plug and play" solution like the mass-flo kits.

i'd have to say being so "plug and play" is about 90% of why i want the system. i don't like adjustable.........on everything....then i'd end up wasting all my time on proprtioning valves, strut rod then fuel injection...i want simple for the efi. plus i'm kinda restricted by time. i have to have the motor pulled, engine conpartment detailed engine rebuilt then installed, then the efi installed...2 months! so i'm kinda hurtin for time. gotta have it done before i deploy on westpac! in september!! wish me luck

Don't discount the abilities of the EEC IV system. You could go with an A9L (89-93 5.0 5spd computer) and a tweecer to tune it. THere is a learning curve as with the other systems. You might want to pick up some books about FI.

www.fordfuelinjection.com good info on the eec IV
