I have a Mopar 337 single plane for a 528" engine with RPM heads that have MCH Max wedge type porting. Who would you use for EFI conversion and porting for a street/strip deal?

If there is an Intake you like that can be purchased setup for EFI I would go that route. I asked around a little about converting my Intake to EFI and I got prices around $400-500 so I just got a Super Victor EFI for my small block. If you have an intake that you really want to keep then check with some performance shops in your area. I understand why they charge so much it just didn't make sense for me when I could by a whole intake for less money. I had to make fuel rails for my other EFI intake and that was time consuming even with mill access.

Its not hard to do if you have the equipment...
I can do it.. but it depends on the porting...
I do all my own porting and EFI rails for multi
port... I dont know if the 337 manifold needs to
have bungs welded on or not... if you want you can
sent me a PM

An EFI conversion on an intake is labor intensive and time consuming. I get $550 for most. Yes, sometimes you can buy EFI ready intakes for less but choices are very limited

If I changed my intake choice what one would be best. I have the T/A hood so I do have some extra clearance for a taller manifold. It's a tall deck block and the ports are roughly Max Wedge sized and the E body has 3.54 gears. 10.7 cr and cam @.05 260, 268 adv. 290, 305 .431, .440. This is mostly a street deal with a few weekends a year at the strip.

Hey Mr P you have a PM.

Thanks

I think your intake choice is fine. It even has the FI bosses built into it. You stated the heads are already ported to maxwedge so you should be pretty close to a port match or better with that intake, since its ports are a little smaller then MW.

Seems you just need someone to install a fuel rails and bungs. Since the bosses are already there, I bet its something you could do yourself with a little research.

With FI I would definitely Keep that intake. up But if you decide you don't want it, I can take it off your hands devil
