Has anyone done 1 with good results ? I'd been toying with the idea , but have no idea what's involved or where to get the donor parts from .
Never done one but Holly and Edelbrock both offer good EFI throttle body kits with computers for stock or aftermarket intake manifolds...all you have to do is visit their websites and they are right on the front page...Has anyone done 1 with good results ?

Why would you do that....new is better...that Holley or Edelbrock stuff is the way to goNo,no,no , I mean pulling it from another car , and putting it on an older car that's never been equipped with it .

shorty find a running engine with the stuff on it and transfer the whole thingI can't begin to be able to afford the Holley/Edlebrock stuff . I can afford to locate a non running dodge truck and convert from that .

I agree if you can't afford the high dollar stuff...look for a 5.2 liter Magnum motor..it's a 318 roller motorbecause pulling it off of a late model Dakota or jeep is incredibly easy and very reliable. You will need the electric fuel pump the injectors/rails the TB and intake manifold, the o2 sensor, the main compt and wiring.
It's a relatively simple proses and I recommend buying a wrecked car so that you konw you get everything.
well, regrettably i wont be able to start that project till next year. i have a young family and a dart sport that needs an engine before that project goes. have spent lots of time researching this project am a mechanic that has all data at my disposal. but from everything i have been reading, the hardest with mine is that it is a California emissions rig and not sure how to get around it yet.
