    Head

    Bob, I suspect .175 is OK. An easy way to gain a small amount of compression. I did mine .020 and the block the same. Bored .125. Then sprung for aftermarket pistons for a compression increase to...

    Well while mine is a LITTLE different, I like my EFI. I have 1950 Straight Eight. Changed to EFI 7 years and 15000 miles go. Was it worth it? Not financially. Never save the money. But...
  6. Fuel tank.

    I don't believe FITech requires an intank pump. My TBI does not. Just an in line pump. 12,000 + miles on the rascal.

    Efi

    Bob is right on payback. BUT! EFI has many other pluses. Absolutely no more "vapor lock". Starts each and every time. The ECM can control the ignition timing. Always spot on.

    Wiring

    Headers

    Dave, you have been given some good advice, both here and on the other sites. And , obviously, not all exactly the same, though similar.
