Is the RB engine set up for it? All the sensors, etc. Yes, you could make an
open loop system with EFI, but you wouldn't have all the engine management
controls.
Kind of like putting one of Holley's throttle body EFI systems on a
carbureted engine.
Personally, I've seen 20 mpg from a carbureted 440 magnum with 4.10 gears on
REGULAR gas in a Charger R/T. I didn't believe it until the guy challenged
me to a mileage runoff. Then he proceded to dust a L-88 Vette and he had 4
people in the car. If it were me, I'd just carb that bad boy.
Then again, there is something about having it with all the engine
management controls.
Somebody on the list may have the answers on how to do it real easy.
