I've got a distributorless EFI system on the hot rod now.
It's much easier to live with than the old blow through carb setup I had.
I haven't had much tuning time but it didn't take long to get it running. The car has already logged several hundred miles since the install.

ALOT! 
Seriously, I haven`t looked for a while, but I think a complete system now from BDS is a tad north of $6800  ...add to that fuel lines, fittings, and just the odds and ends stuff...you`ll be "up there"
I got lucky and found 95% of my hardware at a swap meet...$1500..Hat, injector plate,injectors, hard lines, sensors, pumps, filters, regulator, partial harness, etc.
Mine had the old Accel "power processor" which is fuel only, I bought a used Gen 6 for 750 and made my own harness. Have since switched to a FAST ECU due to wanting a wideband and the fact that the ol` gen 6`s logging for all pratical purposes might as well be non existant..No complaints on the Gen 6 other than that, I ran it for a couple of years with no issues....If the Cheap hand held widebands had been available then, I most likely wouldn`t have switched.

I have the Holley Commander 950 system on a street/strip 440 in my Barracuda. The drivability is great. I can start it on a cool morning and it just idles. I take my son to daycare and go to work with it about three days a week. I also race it about five times a years at the local dragstrip. I have $2500 in the complete system, that includes every hose clamp. I would encourage anyone who drives their car to try EFI.

I always toy with the idea of EFI. I am curious to know if anybody has adapted the Ford EEC-IV system out of a 5.0L Mustang and put it on a Mopar. Its a mass airflow system so you would have to install an intake duct to go with the MAF sensor or you could hide a MAF under the aircleaner.
Its a popular system and highly upgradable. Mustang guys have it all scienced out.

Ah OK, never researched it that much but I though that there were piggyback programmers available to alter fuel maps. A product called the Tweecer comes to mind.

I had the Ford system all laid out but never tried to install one. The trick piece was getting the distributor converted.
I shared the info quite some time ago with one of the guys here. He went through the install but I haven't heard from him in a little while.
With the effort and expense of gathering parts and doing the install, you might as well get a complete aftermarket system.
You're not really going to save any cash by piecing something together.

I am working on the Holley Commander 950 setup right now. The pump is included, and there is no need to modify the manifold for a TB. Everything bolts up, and I am going to use a Rance distributor for my Hall effect with my MSD. This will allow me to control the timing from the computer. I can plug in, make my changes, then hit the road without ever popping the hood. You will need to run a second line for fuel/return line.

re: the commander 950
yep, if you go with the TBI setup, no manifold mod needed. for MPFI, you'll need to add injector bungs.

Talk about a win-win... those have always been on my list of "must have" items when I do a low-deck stroker. If there was ever ANYTHING Ma Mopar got RIGHT, it was the decision to put the ports high enough to bolt up an RB manifold!

I did the whole mustang conversion on a stroked sb. it worked pretty well, it had its limits but you can get those piggy backs like the tweecer that can change up the computer. It does very well on engines that are not extremely radical. just read the mustang sites to learn more about it. its very good for what it is but it is also old technology. i am doing another now with the accel gen 7, i dont see how it would have any wiring harness issues as it is for the most part contained within itself. We have done many of these with no problems. The ford conversion was quite expensive as i didnt use as much junk yard stuff as i could have used. it was also done having to gather all the parts needed. I dont like cutting corners on my builds. The dist. was a challange but ive got a great machine shop to work with and they fixed me up. Bottom line for me is to not cut corners because you will end up with inferior parts that end up not doing what you want them to do. Save up and do it right the first time.

Have a look at 034 I ran in to these guys when I was playing around with an old turbo Audi. They make 8 cylinder stuff now. Most important things are that the owner, Jahvad, won't go cold on you once you bought the stuff; and, there is a website for users: Motorgeeks.com.

I love this thread I have been curious about both EFI and turbocharging for quite some time now, but have found very little info for 440 Mopars. I am curious to hear what kind of performance gains you EFI users are making over your stock setup. I live at 8,000 feet and as you might imagine, a stock or near stock 440 doesn't make the same kind of power up here as it would at sea level. I want my Charger to stay fully streetable, but I definitely want more power. I have considered a blower, but I don't want to cut my hood. Turbos fascinate me, but I am concerned about getting all the custom work done. I have thought about doing a stroker engine, but am concerned about streetability, longevity and cost. Any advice on what might be the best bang for the buck? I am running 3:23 gears and would be pleased with a mid 13 to high 12 second car. Is EFI worth the investment?

Here are the megasquirt updates, you can use the version 2.2 or the version 3 boasrd but you definitely want to run MSII. MSI will work but there aren't as many features. mind you i've setup plenty of MSI boards and they all run fine and very successfully.
24 MHz HCS12 processor (C64 version),
Fuel control to 1 µsec (100 times more resolution than MegaSquirt),
Ignition control (full spark timing advance control, dwell control, etc) for one coil/distributor (7 pin HEI for example) and Ford's EDIS systems,
On-board stepper motor driver for IAC stepper control (this requires a few jumpers to be added on the MegaSquirt PCB to connect the socket jumpers to the DB37 connector),
Ford PWM idle valve support,
Built-in rev limiter, either 'fuel cut' or 'spark retard',
All tables are now 12×12 in size,
WBO2 AFR target table (in AFR units),
Independent dual-tables for VE and AFR target,
EGO feedback in wide-band mode is proportional to the difference between the measured AFR and the target AFR, the bigger the difference, the bigger the feedback step,
Spark advance table can have different rpm and kpa bins than VE and AFR tables,
115,200 baud serial interface with MegaTune2.25+,
CANbus networking for 'inter-board' communications with add-on modules like transmission controllers, sequential injection drivers, etc.,
Barometric correction amount and direction configurable in software, and provisions for:
barometric correction based on initial MAP reading,
independent 2nd barometric MAP sensor for continuous real-time baro correction, or
no baro correction.
TPS values for open loop and flood clear mode are user configurable,
MAP based open loop can be set as well as TPS,
Both TPS and MAP based accel enrichment is built into the code, you can configure the ratio of each,
Blended Alpha-N and speed density is an option,
2 spare I/O lines for custom controls. (This is in addition to 4 lines for Idle stepper control if you don't need this, or the Fast idle solenoid then becomes a spare if you do use a stepper motor.)

EfI is worth the investment in terms of driveability and not performance gains. EFI and a carb should perform equally well. you should look into a centrifugal supercharger that way you don't have to cut the hood and don't have to worry about all the plumbing on turbos
Anyone have any specific recommendations for centrifugal superchargers?

I'll post the link I have saved at work that tells how to wire up a GM HEI module to a mopar dizzy, in place of the mopar orange box. also, to use the EFI timing, you'll have to get a distributor with no vaccuum or mechanical advance systems. easiest way? find a lean burn distributor off of a 5th ave (if small block) or late 70's 400 cordoba (if big block).

I'd advise against it just because the mopar 'puters haven't been hacked very well, or the information on hacking/reprogramming them isn't nearly as "freeware" as the hacking of the GM (tbi, tpi, LT1) computers.

Yanno... I bought an Electromotive TEC II computer with distributorless ignition on eBay for $500. It's complete and doesn't need any kind of assembly.
Looking at the MS systems, I don't see any real reason to go that route when it's no more expensive than other systems that offer more features/functions.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

I think I'm going with the Accel DFI system.
Big time wiring harness issues....just thought I would let you know.

There won't be any reprograming or hacking involved, just a few ideas i want to try.

What "wiring harness issue" is THAT??!?!
Do you get paid to slag Accel or what?
Ok shoot me. I will retract that statement.  I cannot find the article I read that stated the harness's had some issues with the connections because of poor manufacturing. I personelly have no experience with their newer stuff and I shouldn't comment unless I have the facts to back it up. 
I can say that, any efi system out there currently has many advantages over carburators if your willing to learn it. The newer systems are getting easier and more intuitive to set-up with a lot of added diagnostic tools.
I prefer the systems that are programmable enough to grow with the projectand adapt without having to buy a new system. Get big enough injectors and the features you need to cover your future upgrades, and one system should do it.

Explain this distributor. I have the Holley TBI kit, and I was looking for a way to have it utilize the ignition control.
Thanks
I'll post the link I have saved at work that tells how to wire up a GM HEI module to a mopar dizzy, in place of the mopar orange box. also, to use the EFI timing, you'll have to get a distributor with no vaccuum or mechanical advance systems. easiest way? find a lean burn distributor off of a 5th ave (if small block) or late 70's 400 cordoba (if big block).
Here's the link to convert to a GM HEI module. I think for EFI, you'll need the 7 pin.

Have you thought about a set of stage VI heads?
Well Rich, yes I did...Unfortunately, I had already purchased the Eddie heads, and a set of TTI headers for a lowdeck. It isn't possible to use low deck headers with Stage VI heads, is it? If it were, I guess I could sell the Edelbrock heads and get the Stage Vi's...
