Re: Ramjet 454 EFI swap…linky

I knew I'd provoke that response from you. Yes it was puking, but compairing the power from a 5000 mile 454 to a 100000 mile wheezer 350 is like comparing a bb gun to a bazooka. Sure they both shoot projectiles, but one does it with a little more ease than the other.

Not to mention the fact that you are running a more appropriate gear ratio for the tire size than I am. I remember the days that your truck had a hard time pulling the pass to westcliffe with the 454 and 3.73 gears.

Point being it's not all engine, all carb or gearing but the carefull combination of all. Had I 4.56's too, I'm sure I wouldn't have had to whip that poor 350 like a red headed stepchild.

Yes, a gen III sure looks like the plan, but we got to find one first! If the darn carb intake wasn't as much as the FI stuff I would have a carb on it first, then injection.

I've been surfing craigslist for vortec 350's and gen III's. I'll find one sooner or later.
