Well I have a classic Truck that I inherited from my father...It is a "1958 Chevrolet Apache Stepside 3100" It has a V-8. It has a little bit of rust but it runs. It is a restoration job that me and my father started on.

in about 4-months I'll be the owner of a cherry '66 Mustang Coupe... 289 V-8, if it has an automatic, it's getting replaced by a T-5 and I'm going to have a machine shop put out some 2.90 rear gears for me. Fuel injection will be dropped in along with headers. Ought to be a nice little pony to hop around in.

Edelbrock...

1000cfm... pretty good improvement over stock...

Header's will probably be from HOOKER.

ON A 289? For such a small engine a 400cfm would do if all you're doing is changer the headers and fueling.

I don't believe any of the fuel injection kits for a 289 actually have that small a rating. I think the lowest you can get is 600.

Just checked. They actually do make as small as a 400cfm system, however, I'm not one to settle for what "would do". I want what can really make it perfor well.

The thing I really like about the Edelbrock 1000cfm system, is unlike a lot of the Holley systems, it includes everything from the inejctors, ECM, and any other part needed to set up the system. One thing I really like is that it also has a calibration module with it, so, I won't need a lap-top to calibrate the fuel-injection system.

Well on a otherwise stock engine it's a bit overkill.

The reason that Holley doesn't include all of that miscellaneous stuff with their carburettors is that they also offer a far wider variety of high performance fuel injectors, fuel pumps, ECM, etc., while the Edelbrock is limited in it's compatability to a, less high performance, moderate streetable version.
