Try it now FREE! caacBBBb7yoMza/MyDietPatches ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Ken, I converted an old Enderle unit for my Hemi. I'm using an Electromotive Tec II system for the ignition & fuel brains. I installed bungs in the injection manifold, I retained the metering block & hid the map sensor inside to look 'old school'. Bought some fuel rails & 55lb.hr. injectors & got the old Hilborn air horns from Kramer's. The whole thing cost me less than 2 grand so far. The only expenses I still have to go through is the labor charge from the Electromotive technician who will map it all out for me. He estimates it to be 6-8 hours labor.
