Will a square bore carb or fuel injection sound as good with the same air cleaner? I am thinking about fuel injection, but the ole TQ sound is mighty important to me. Thanks.

I had always toyed with the idea of using a thermoquad as a throttle body for fuel injection, although that would be very complicated and time-consuming. Looking for 1975 through 1978 B body 4 door sedan sheet metal or parts cars - monaco, fury, coronet. Please let me know

But the fuel injection will probably run better. I have the FAST EZ EFI on a 440 that had the TQ, fuel milage went down and sound changed. The idle air is the only sound, no part or standing on it sound like the TQ. Starts and runs better was the only plus. The efi throttle body is a 1000 cfm, you have to run richer at the low end to keep it happy.
