Reply to "fuel injecting the cleveland."

There are two basic kinds used. The ones that mount on a regular intake are TBI (throttle body injection) while the other choice is high-pressure multiport EFI. The Weber-lookalike systems are of this type. Several owners from different countries run an adapted Ford EFI brainbox from Ford for a 351-W. The intake most seem to prefer is the aftermarket TrickFlow, which fits a 351-C block (with some machining) and clears the early engine screen. The quiet Ford factory in-tank fuel pump also fits in a Pantera tank with no cutting. If you have a '73-up or use a late sender with the built-in fuel-out in an early tank, the tank's fuel-out can become the fuel return with no cutting or welding needed.

While all this certainly works, you must know what you're doing in choosing your parts: injectors, lines etc. One local Pantera owner now has 10 yrs and 25,000 miles on his adaption, and a dyno test showed 450 bhp & 22+ mpg. He drives it everywhere, is enthusiastic about the factory stuff and readily answers questions.
