Intake choice for convert to EFI ?
I'm considering this intake for converting to EFI. I'd have an aluminum box made for the top and bolt the throttle body to the front of it :)
It's the Edel Victor Ram 7070.
the rpm range is listed as 6500-10000. Would efi tame this intake for street driving ?
I'm looking for something that will accept a 1206 gasket for port matching to the heads. What do you think ? TIA

Re: Intake choice for convert to EFI ? (SmokedTires)
How about something like a weber manifold. Dump the throttle bodies, bolt your box to the top of the manifold with the throttle body in front. A hilborn manifold might work to. Of course, there needs to be enough room for the injectors and fuel rails. Hmmm...I am starting to form a picture in my brain for a long range plan....but it must fit under my stock hood...

Re: Intake choice for convert to EFI ? (SmokedTires)
I thought larg runners and single plains were only an issue on Carb motors cause the carb references the signal from below the throttle body. I am not sure in anyway but I would think it would just make performance easier on an EFI engine. OOHHH.. 50 years of corvette is on.. Gotta go.

Talk to BDS (Blower Drive Service). They have converted tunnel rams to EFI. They have a "stock" setup in their catalog, and do custom conversions.

Re: Intake choice for convert to EFI ? (71roadster)
71roadster, I'm not sure about the wbbers. I really like the looks of the tunnelram, and I think the longer runners may help with torque. :)
Washington, that's the kind of issues I'm hoping the efi will resolve ;) .
Thanks Greg, I shot BDS an e-mail :D .
Joe, yes I agree those runners do look HUGH :eek: . I understand that by moving the injectors closer to the plenum it gives the gas & air time to mix better before entering the cylinder :) .

Re: Intake choice for convert to EFI ? (HWoods)
Hwoods, that was originally my choice, the StealthRam looks really nice. The problem is that the ports are too small for the heads I'll be using & there isn't enough material to hog them out to port match a 1206 gasket :( . So now I have to look for alternatives :banghead: .

Re: Intake choice for convert to EFI ? (SmokedTires)
Have you considered the Street & Performance tunnel ram. It'll fit (barely) under a stock '73 up hood. Your hood would give it lots of living space.
I can send you a pic. A member here posted it for me a few weeks ago but it's down now. let me know...

Re: Intake choice for convert to EFI ? (SmokedTires)
ST: I have read your posts since you were Mikeo. Where is this sudden need for the exotic, expensive and tempermental "untill it is sorterd out, which could be some time" coming from? There is so much SB EFI out there, this seems unnecessary. I'm sure Lingenfelter,ASM and too many others have something that is evil, effective and totally sorted out. Now if you just want something for the trick factor, please ignore everything I just wrote and keep us posted.

Thanks for watching my car buildup/ modification over the years. Hopefully I haven't pasted the point of done tastefully yet :crazy: I'm aways looking for the next trick part to help my car stand out against all the other vettes out there ;) .

Re: Intake choice for convert to EFI ? (SmokedTires)
Ever consider tri-power for your small block? That's hard to beat for the "Kustom" factor that you're after. And you could probably actually get triple 2-bbl throttlebodies for the thing. Edelbrock and Offenhauser make versions for the SBC. Edelbrock's is a dual plane and the Offy is a single plane. Obviously, go with the Offy if you want those rpm's.
There's only one thing I can think of that's more trick, and that's an individual runner port fuel injection set up. Nothing looks better than 8 chrome pipes sticking up. Write to me off the forum if you want a referral, since I do not believe they are a supporting vendor.
To tell you the truth, I could see a long rod 406 with that IR set up feeding into Dominion 4-valve heads. Yowsa, would that rev!!!
Anyhoo, there's a few new ideas for ya. :auto:
