Now this has me thinking... I'd need to make a custom cable or cut mine to length, but It'd be obtainable...

If I baught a Intake for a carb. engine (still a 302) and got a spacer to go inbetween the carb and intake manifold, drilled it out so I could bolt a throttle body to it, and built a custom CAI or got a round type of air cleaner (like you would put on a carb'ed engine) and put my MAF between the carb and aircleaner... then ran my it all, would it work?

It's alot of work, but I think it'd look brilliant.
Old school look with new school fuel injection.

Discuss this please, that image opened my mind to tons of ideas.

Click to expand...

So it would work? Can you give me some input on this? It looks sweet as hell, but how do you do the throttle bodies and such? what about the air intake and such?

What about only having one IAC sensor and such? how would you make it work for 2 throttle bodies?

The engine would have to be pretty serious to be running dual throttle bodies and that kind of airflow, probably overkill for a 302, I'd go at least 347 if not a bored/stroked 351-based motor. And you'd need a hood with a really tall cowl to fit it with intake tubes and all. I've seen single throttle body efi intakes like that before where the MAF was in the air cleaner (carb-style) so it really had an old school look to it. I'm not sure how you'd go about sticking a MAF sensor on an air cleaner for dual TB's. You would almost be forced to run kind of a "Y' intake tube where a single big tube goes to the MAF and then it splits off into two. To tune the stock computer with a tweecer wouldn't be too hard using 1 TPS, but I think you'd have to run two IAC's. That could get complicated, but its do-able.

My brain is still farting:

Instead of having the TB's mounted vertically like that you could put 90* elbows in their place (like on the Spyder intakes) and mount them sideways. That would simplify running a sort of y-pipe to them. That would look sick either way.

I am only running the lower with a sheet metal upper. Looks like this.
