I'd rethink the fuel injection bit. More efficient, more responsive, starts
easier,etc. I'd check around. Maybe someone on the list could help you with
information, experiences. I suspect the cheapest way to do it is buy ALL the
components from a wrecking yard. Your local library probably has a few books
on fuel injection. And I agree with Steve. More horsepower means more money
up front, gulps more gas, and in the long run less reliable. (But then, I'm
investigating putting a supercharger on my 4 cylinder Camry to tow an
"Aliner" folding camper!!!). Bob K in PHX, AZ.
