Four Port Hilborn on Blown Hemi...

Sure. I actually haven't lit it yet. The computer is from SDSEFi http://sdsefi.com/ pretty simple setup, you don't need a laptop computer. The package with all the sensors was about 1000.00 or a little more. I think the MAP sensor is good up to 2.5 bar of boost. I welded a collar with a set screw from the hardware store to a plate with some holes in it, basically. Then I used the bulkhead fittings and a locknut to bolt it all together, the factory hilborn lines and metering block are used although you have to gut the metering block. Then just one wire bundle hidden under the fuel lines. The tube for the map sensor is mounted under the manifold in the lifter valley. Then you have a water temp sensor and a throttle position sensor, weld a bung in the header for exhaust gas sensor. The motor is a 331 hemi, the cam is a stock cam with 112 degree lobe centers so I just ran that. 8 to one cast pistons. I bought the motor and just rebuilt it stock. I can maybe take better pictures, I'm having a problem loading them for some reason

 

That is just plain awesome.
Nice job engineering that whole setup.I really admire your use of fabrication skills to employ someone else's products to suit you needs with a few mods.
Now THAT is what Hot Rodding is about!

Here is what I had done to mine, 4 injectors on each side, hiding wires wont be possible but Ill try to conceal them somewhat

 

Here are some more photos of the blower hat all plumbed and wired. Also I mounted the throttle position sensor on the gas pedal to hide it. This is the most hillbilly way to do this but it should work pretty good. The guy who sold me the fuel injection said it won't run any better than carbs, which is fine with me. This car is mainly a street car which is why I went to all the trouble, if it was a race car i would just run mechanical, but this is pretty close.

 

altered wb tempest? AWESOME!!! do you have a build thread going?

 

Nice job bending those lines!

No I actually built that car a few years ago with a big block Chevy and I hated it so I took it apart and did this. I figured it would be pretty close to the old Mickey Thompson Pontiac hemi heads, it is my understanding that they were modeled off of 392 heads

 

That is pretty cool.I can't wait to see footage of that car makin' smoke!
Are you the same Mr Rich that worked with Steve M. on his " Match Bash" car?

Yeah man, glad to meet ya.

 

Hey!Likewise!
I remember following that series of buildup articles and lusting over that car.The work you did on that little Chevy II was pretty impressive!
And there is a guy on here with several sets of the M/T Hemi Pontiac heads if you want to get ahold of him.I will scrounge his name up here soon,but I will scrounge it up for you.

Damn mrrich, that's a pretty slick build.

 

Looks like something that would have been showing up at tracks all over the country on the match race circuit back in '65 or '66,doesn't it..?

Thanks powrshftr, however I cant take credit for bending the lines, that would be Fran Olson in North Carolina

Mazooma quoted a previous post above and I am sorry to report that Ted Radoumis and Junior Thompson have both passed away since then.
