Also, remember when doing injector size calculation that LS motors run fuel pressure at 58 psi.

Flexfuel injectors are actually larger...flow more lbs (like 34lbs vs. 27 lbs +/-)....than the regular fuel injectors to allow for the E-85. Unless you WAY oversize an injector, it won't affect idle, etc. much, if at all if tuned correctly.




Larger than the 42 lb ones you are using? Should make for a cheap junkyard solution if you needed more than 42 lb ones on just gas?

FWIW I'm using an rpm perf for my turbo 383 and the distribution is beautiful according to my plugs. I use a sheet metal elbow and 5.0 TB. I have a friend who has also had the best luck with distribution and mpg with a DP on his turbo 340. My take away is use whatever intake you would use based on the goals for the car with a carb and not sweat the efi. Other people may have had a different experience.





I really have no experience to refute that experience with....so I don't know. I think all the stock high performance type intakes all tend to have long somewhat equal length runners...but most TBI style intakes tend to be more of a dual plane style...and vacume signal doesn't apply there...so it must work.

Not larger than the 42's....but larger than the typical pickup injectors. I just guessed the lbs for the 34 lb vs 27 lbs thing....every size motor is different....but flexfuel injectors are bigger. It would be interesting to see what a 6.0 flexfuel flows (if they make such a beast...I don't know). I know my 2001 Suburban 3/4 ton 6.0L is not flexfuel.

Exactly what I was gonna mention, you need to plug the distributor hole anyway, the Ford design does that pretty cleanly...




Is that off of the 4.6 SOHC?

Well, my experience is with the SHO motor and the cam sensor just runs off the end of a camshaft. It is just a short cup that rotates, half of the cup's wall is cut away and the sensor goes over the end of the cup, kind of like a Mallory Opti-spark. As the cup rotates, either there is a cup wall in the sensor gap or there isn't.
I'm sure the one pictured is from a pushrod engine with a camshaft, and it plugs into the place where the distributor would go. That's even more applicable to a 440, as it's kind of congested at the front camshaft end.

No, the 4.6 is a later design & a cam sensor was in the original design..

The 5.0 Explorer used coil packs & would be a good V8 part donor...

I plan to build a body that plugs the distributor hole, uses the stock shaft/drive gear, and accepts a Jeep CPS. i will just have to cut down the stock shaft at the top. The rest should be super simple. Perhaps use some good bearings in the system instead of bushings.

It looks easy to make on the lathe/Mill, and would look much better than a converted distributor on these conversions.


When I get to that stage, I will post pics. Op good tech! I may start my own thread on my conversion, but will wait till you get farther in yours so as not to detract from each others tech!

I had ideas of doing the same thing using this as the body.

FYI: You can have your existing injectors resized by Fuel Injector Connection if you need more flow.
http://fuelinjectorconnection.com/shop/viewcategory.php?groupid=118

Here are some of the higher flow stock injectors:

- The supercharged 6.2L LS9 and LSA engines injectors are reportedly 56-59-lb/hr @ 58PSI, part number: 0280158187.

- The Cadillac Escalade 6.2L FlexFuel L9H & L94 engines use 54-lb/hr at 58 psi injectors, part number 12609749, (possibly 42lb...)

- The 6.0L L96 FlexFuel engine uses a 40-42lb/hr injector part number 12587269.

Does anyone have a pictures of a 411 LS1 PCM.
I believe I have one out of a 99 silverado that had a 4.8
Unfortunately there is no tag on it anymore.
Is it supposed to have 2 or 4 connectors?

I believe the 12200411 pcm uses two 80-pin connectors.

That's correct...2 plugs and a '99 4.8 would be a 411 PCM.

And thanks for the injector part numbers....good info!

I thought the same thing when I pulled this while rebuiling a ford 3.0 at work. It even has the same hex drive for the oil pump shaft. Hall effect w/2 pin plug, 5.030" OD shaft.....Might be easier/cleaner to mod one of these than fab something from scratch. Ford 5.0/4.0 and 3.0 pushrod motors all used them.

Rich Nedbal of Mopar Engines West / http://www.fastmanefi.com/ does some neat EFI work. Although not based around the GM PCM, his FAST XFI setup does illustrate some very clean work to use as an idea.

Any chance this setup would work with stock Gen III Hemi dual plug coils? I am looking at two Edelbrock 500 cfm carbs and the MSD controller currently, at a cost of about $1300. It would be nice to save some $$ and get a good tuneable EFI!

For anyone that might be wanting to do this with drive-by-wire (don't be afraid it's just technology ) I have found (maybe) a supplier that makes 4x cam sensors in a dizzy for chevy's. Now, I don't yet know if they will sell them separate from their kit they offer but if they do it would be an easy way to adapt to 4x. If they won't sell them without buying a kit I am going to venture into modifying a 1x reluctor like Quicksilver440 used into creating a 4x signal that can be picked up by the sensor.

Does anyone know if there are any production engines that use a 4x reluctor and sensor that would fit in a Chrysler dist.?
