It's up and running, just a few minor tuning issues to take care of.

That's freakin' awesome. Did you have 4bbl injection first or go straight from a carb?

Any/all details on the install would be a great educational experience.   :2thumbs:

Straight from a carb. The manifold came from Bruce @ F & B Throttle Bodies, the tank with pump from XV and everything else from Rich @ FastMan.  I didn't do the install, it's being handled by a local shop, but it's pretty close to a drop-in.  They had to do a little grinding here, supply a fuel regulator that everyone somehow forgot about and work out the throttle linkage, which was just a regular Lokar.  Also, Rich advertises that he can download a new program to the Fastman set-up once the car is up and running, but the shop is tuning it themselves on their in-house dyno.  All in all, no real issues and it went together very well, but it helped to have a shop that is capable and doesn't ***** and moan at every corner, they just went out and got it done.  Don't have the exact install bill yet, but total with everything and labor should be about $9K.

The only real issue I had was getting a Mopar 6-Pack air cleaner. I scoured the internet and dealers and finally found a dealer that had, I believe, the last one (and knew it)...

I had a custom 360 Six Pack Fuel Injected air cleaner decal made that is a dead ringer for the factory decal.

I assume the cost was in the $4500 range to do the swap

I've been waiting to see these trickle out.  Look cool. I heard they were having some problems at first.  I want one really bad. Thanks for posting!  Can't wait to hear your feedback on them.  9K is way too much though.  :2cents:    That's some dough! WoW. I could see 4K maybe.  It would be the perfect thing for my car. :icon16: R/T

Looks sweet but way too much cash for me to justified spending. Hope it works out good long term, guess if your MPG go up and you drive it a lot it help pay for itself in fuel cost.

What is the minor issues?

Is that EFI the kind that constantly adjusts itself? Not sure what the technical term is, but what I mean is can you only change the program by actually rewriting the computer?

 :droolingbounce: Very cool!  :droolingbounce:

That is the same unit I want to out on my 440 when I get done.  9K is a steep price  :grinyes: but well worth it, because not to many others will have that set up.

Let us know how she runs on the street.

What COmputer you running?

Accel DFI?  FAST?

Definitely awesome, but for $9k, I think you could have swapped in a 6.1L Hemi already injected and wired up.

I was thinking one can get one of these so you avoid having to run a return line from the engine:

I'm running FAST.  I priced the 6.1 Hemi first, and the motor alone, with all of the necessary accessories, was $15K. Add labor to that...
