Charles, you are SERIOUSLY demented! So's Tim, thank God I'm sane enough to recognize this!  Carbs..Webers?

I don't remember if it was Moe or Curly who said, "Hey, I resemble that remark! Ynuck, Ynuck, Ynuck."  Gravity is my worst enemy.  Most likely nobody has ever accused you of being sane after all the things you have attempted (and accomplished).

As for the induction, I am just trying to find something to "blow through" (I could use a carb, they have always worked before).  The original plan was to use twin turbos for a little boost to get this Y down the track and we will probably stay with that.  Actually these are a set of Kinsler FI units.  I took them to Hilborn for a confirmation that they would work behind the turbos and I got a thumbs up from them.  I am also talking to Jerry C about a throttle bodied plenum on a sheet metal intake with bungs for fuel injection.  The "classic" class we want to run in doesn't allow EFI, so something mechanical will have to do.  You have to know, I am not doing anything without Reed's blessing and input.  I am just the "grunt" man around here, I leave the thinking to those capable.

Too bad they won't work, they sure LOOK trick. Hilborn say why, or is it just because they were Kinslers and not Hilborns. (We used to refer to this as the NIVH syndrome) "Not Invented Here"

How about something like this on a sheet metal manifold and a turbo for each opening??

This is nice to know too...

So, we have two 60 mm throttle bodys on our turboharged 292, those will flow about 1200 cfm of air as normally aspirated and with 0.7 to 1.5 bar charge ?

Sorry for not being more clear.  My statement that Hilborn gave me the "thumbs up" was actually intedned to say they thought the Kinsler units would work just fine.  I talked at length with the shop foreman and he told me the basics that would have to be done to make them work for us.  He also told me that the "boss" wouldn't let him work on anything but Hilborn units.  He did give me a contact in Northern California of someone who had worked for him for over 20 years and did all kinds of FI units.  So, I haven't ruled out the Kinslers, they do look cool and I'm guilty of being a sucker for the nostalgia look as much as possible.

Still talking to Jerry Christenson about a sheet metal intake with an enclosed plenum to cover the runners.  He recommended a large throttle body from Ron's Fuel Injection Systems.  The unit is called the "Flying Toilet".

Still have to run all this stuff by Reed, I'm just trying to learn as I go.

Seems like a good plan...that is, to have both the "Flying Brick" and a "Flying Toilet"...hehe

Wayne,

I'm not sure if Kinsler ever made FI units for a Y-Block or a Lincoln.  These are old Buick V6 Stage II injectors from a 260 cu. in. motor and I have not fabed up an adapter manifold yet.  I have mentioned earlier that I am trying to find something suitable (and good looking) to blow the twin turbos through.  The outside four units match up with the four stacked intake runners in the heads and the center units could be sent in both directions???  More info from Kinsler can be found at their web site www.kinsler.com and their phone number is (248) 362-1145.  As I said, I am not sure if they made any early Ford or Lincoln injectors, but I notice they are located on Thunderbird Ave. in Troy, MI.
