Hi all

I'm considering buying a car with a MOPAR 440* engine equipped with the std 4 barrel carb and squirting it with MS (need I have said that last bit???). I know I could fit TBI injection in place of the carbs but I'm hoping to find a suitable "bolt-on" multiport EFI intake manifold with one injector per port.

Does anyone know if this type of manifold is available for the 440? IF so, please point me to a supplier(s).

If I could really have my way, this manifold should come complete with throttle body, TPS, idle air controller (stepper or PWM), injectors, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator.

TIA
Philip

* At least once in my life I want to have one of these under my back side - but only under MS control!!

Edelbrock list pn EDL-35090 with 29 lb injectors or EDL-35080 with 35 lb injectors for the 413/426 wedge 440 listed in the Summit Catalog.
Listed at $3,089.95 and $3115.95
"Pro-Flo EFI systems include every thing you need to convert your carbureted non-emissions engine to a complete, fully sequential modern electronic fuel injection system."

It looks like Ollie listed the price for Edelbrock's whole kit, the manifolds alone are a good bit cheaper:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-7144/ - $450 for the Pro-Flo
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-29545/ - $300 for a Victor with EFI bungs

If I could really have my way, this manifold should come complete with throttle body, TPS, idle air controller (stepper or PWM), injectors, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator.

Reportedly the intake in the full Edelbrock kit is slightly different than the 'loose' manifold, but I've never heard what that difference is.

The ProFlo has a lower RPM range than the Victor, and the Victor needs either an elbow and a 1-throat TB or a directly-mounted 4-V TB (but those are $400 by themselves ).

For a ProFlo (or the elbow), the TB can be either a GM LS-series or a Ford 5.0, and they will mount the TPS and IAC. You can get them from Eddy or get new/used ones on Ebay. Eddy has the rails, but you'll have to get the regulator separately. It's all up to your wallet really, you can order anything your heart desires.

I have a ProFlo sitting on a shelf (waiting for me to get off my butt) and it's a nice looking piece. It shows to have lower hood clearance than some taller manifolds with carb and aircleaner, so that's a big plus. My only complaint is the manifold is natural aluminum, but the rails are black. I may paint it all 60s turquoise to confuse the Hemi-orange musclecar guys.

I do know that Edelbrock has some manifolds they will only sell as part of a full kit. For example, you can't buy their 2-bbl Chevy intake manifold on its own, only with their ECU and wiring.

Which is why our Nova is using a Holley / Weiand manifold...
