Hey Y'all,
So I have been doing a ton of research on CSFI to MPFI but I am extremely interested in a EFI.
So as I dug into this swap, it just made more since for my future plans of making more of a street truck.
Specs of truck:
97 standard cab 2wd long bed
5.7 w/ auto
Why does EFI interest me?
1. I do not like the plastic upper intake, going EFI deletes that plastic.
2. CSFI to MPFI from what I found is $300 +/- some and I still have the plastic upper intake. EFI allows for better performance and the ability to upgrade in the future. Yes, EFI cost more but it provides so many positives.
3. Work involved in MPFI swap vs EFI, seems like the payoff is better with EFI with my future plans with minimal extra work
So, I found this video on youtube that helps me make sense of the swap.
So basically, this gentleman utilizes individual fuel injectors via direct port to each cylinder (via performance intake manifold). Each injector is hard wired in through the main harness.
Here is the part list he utilizes:
Edelbrock 29135 Super Victor Intake
Edelbrock 3848 Elbow
Edelbrock 3631 Fuel Rails
92mm Ebay Throttle Body
85# Injectors
Aeromotive EFI FPR
16mm and 14mm Female to Male -6AN Adapter Fittings
Ton of braided Fuel Line
411 PCM Recommended
Here is where I want to confirm this swap:
1. Does this swap, taking in account parts list and basic theory, sound good with a stock bottom end?
2. 85# injectors sounds a little high for a stock bottom end, what injectors would you recommend?
3. Should I complete the 411 pcm swap first then obtain the ability to tune? (btw, my truck is currently missing and I am pin pointing the spider for the issue)
4. Any changes to parts list?
5. Any Recommendations/Tips?
Thank you for any insight/help!
