351 cleavland and fuel injection

[brixter]

Anyone have a clue if fuel injection is possible with a 351 cleavland or if it would be cost effective ??

I run Clevelands in my broncos, but not Fuel injected, its possible, but why just run a carb, or two Holly 660's like i do ;D gas$$$$$ 6bucks a gallons and i get 300ft on 2 gallons lol;D

Yes, it is possible. Cost effective from what point of view? Are you trying to get better mileage out of your 351C? This report mentions that the mileage does improve. I don't know if it makes it "cost effective", though.

The coolness factor is pretty high.

There are a couple of guys on this site (bmc69 and bax) that are running fuel-injected 400s. They almost had me talked into doing the same - but it isn't that cheap to do.

It is possible. I know a guy that did it to his pantera. He used a 460 distributor off a late model. He used a 351W EFI intake and used adapter plates from:

Everything else was normal 351W MAF harness injectors, etc.

I wish I had the time and money to do mine.

Here is the comander 950 set up on my 400. It runs but I am still trying to tune it. There is a lot of messin with it to get it running perfect. Not like a carb where you bolt on and go.

What I mean by cost effective would be compared to a 351 w . Bax that looks too cool ! I looked at set ups for Panteras and thats just way too much for what I want to do. My neighbor has the 351c he wants to sell me for 500.00 bucks and I dont want to pass it up .
I plan on doing fuel injection to my next motor cause I cant stand carbs and I want more torque than my 302 , so a 351 is my first choice for motors.
He does have a 400 though also .

I have looked at the cost comparison between putting a fuel-injected 400 in my EB vs. a fuel-injected 351W. After a lot of research, I am going to put a 351W in my EB (I already own a 400 - but it is still going to be cheaper to go out and get a used 351W and throw EFI on it). It is cheaper to do the 351W if you are going EFI.

I know for a fact the W is easer. The 400 is not a bad fit in fact the 400 fits better than the 351C because the heads are an inch taller on the block and it gives more room for the headers. The W is a stock deal everything about it is easer to make happen. I just like the C motors and I wanted EFI so here I am. It's not that hard, if it was I couldn't do it. I am no super mechanic by any means, I am a carpenter. Do what you want, enjoy. Life is short.

PME makes adapters to put a 302 intake on a C with 2 barrel heads. About $250.

these guys make a system for the 351C
