A cross ram is the wrong intake to choose if the customer wants the engine to fire up easily and drive nicely. If the customer is willing to spend a bunch of money for an EFI conversion then it could be made to work. Not sure what the bill for a conversion like that is going to be, probably several thousand dollars.
I don't agree. Cross rams are an issue with carbs but with the port injection like I did in the pics, the manifold just flows air and the engines start and run just as good as if it had a 4 barrel. Driveabilty was excellent. Conversion cost is time and materials. The last one I did was right at $3K. The major part of the work was mounting the injectors without fuel rails to hold them down. I made custom clamps that did the job. The 90 degree AN line to injector fittings are also very pricey.
