If you try it, post your experience. Wish those efi systems didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Thanks the price thing is also bothering me but yes I would like to go EFI. Problem is traveling to the nearest coast is a drop of 1450m and the Holley truck Avenger does not like it. Will `n score on gas mileage?

do you have access to mustang stuff over there for a decent amount of coin?
are there any tuners that work with yank stuff?
to use an oem based setup i dont think you would want less then 24# injectors...likely 30's and you will want to dial in a stroker most of the time, but i have had decent drivability with the old eec4 stuff on a 347 that might get you by initially. runnig the restrictive stock intake on 40 irons i have seen the little stokers run real strong. mileage wasnt improved too much but they run good and altitude sickness is much better..
i threw away a ton of stuff recently and it made me sick because i would rather mail it to someone who could use it.
edelbrock would be my first choice over 1500, you have a shit ton of control for what you pay.

i would say the holley systems are equal though. the terminator systems are outstanding and i have seen them on sale at 1500....a hp carb and matched up intake is 900-1200 here so if you were starting from scratch a guy would have to be a fawking moron not to use it....
these guys have had good deals in the past. http://www.holleyefi.biz/SBF-HP-KIT-USING-TFI-DISTRIBUTOR-RED-7796.htm
take your time and shop carefully and i bet you can nail it down for a recoverable price before you freshen the engine up....unless its already hurt from the carb.

would you consider an explorer setup?
those are easy to get here, but if your speed shop cant tune it then it wont be worth it. dont know what shipping would be.
do you have a 28 oz imbalance or 50?
