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.

hey charlie. did kinsler make F.I. for a Y or are those converted to fit? did they ever make them for a lincoln Y? i've got a homemade sheetmetal tunnel ram with both tops, 1x4,or 2x4's, if you'ed like to try it i could bring it with me to columbus. mabey ted could do some dyno testing with it. it would be fun to see what happens, thanks, wayne.

I have seen the "Toilet Bowl" setup on a few Pro Mustangs. They work.

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

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.

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 ?

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

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"
