: I finally got a answer from Hilborn what is
: included for the money. Cast aluminum intake
: manifold with 6 seperate throttle
: bores,throttle shaft,butterflies,barrel
: valve,hoses from valve to
: nozzels,nozzels,bi-pass valve and secondary
: bi-pass valve. This system is made to run on
: pump gas,race fuel or alochol. When
: purchased they will match the nozzels to the
: fuel you will be using. The only thing left
: is the pump and the pump drive which is
: driven and 1/2 crankshaft speed. This is a
: mech system, NOT electronic and is for racing
: only.

: Looks pretty complete, We have to get 5 ordered
: for Hilborn to run these-off right?
: Do you think there is any room to negotiate on
: the pricing??
: DD

: How much we talkin' here? I might want a ride
: on this bus.

: Don was the contact person at Hilborn. Now you
: have to remember they haven't made this
: manifold for along time so they just said
: around $1200 ? Maybe if more poeple called
: in they might lower the price. I think we
: would have problems finding many racers
: wanting to spend this much money. I talked
: with another racer who built his from
: Hilborn parts and he said that this by far
: was cheaper than the route he tried. If I
: have to, I'll purchase two.

: Dave, any idea when this deal is gonna happen?
: I got some spare coins laying around and
: this sounds like a neat way to get rid of
: them. Dennis

: dont know if i'd want to run mechanical....
: but the thought of 6 stacks and bungs welded in
: for EFI injectors sure paints a neat picture
: for one of my street cars !
:
: what runner length etc we talkin , streetable?

: Call Kinsler, They quoted me a price a while
: back of $2200 for a complete EFI system for
: a slant 6. This was everything including
: sensors, throttle bodies...etc. They would
: assemble it all to make sure there were no
: problems. They also said they could put
: together a mechanical system cheaper but I
: was not interested in mechanical.

: Hey, now that's an idea, add some bungs for
: injectors or NOS fogger nozzles.
:
: Dave, I will drop you an email and we can trade
: some info. I can give Hilborn a call next
: week to see what their casting pattern is
: like, it will be pretty easy to add some
: "bosses" onto the pattern so these
: get casted right onto the new manifolds.
: DD

: I tried calling these guys also and they said
: if I furnished some kind of a manifold they
: could build the rest,but they quoted me
: around $4500+ for the EFI with all the
: sensors ?????

: As far as the "bungs" I did not ask
: what size their hole was or what thread
: pitch they used for their nozzel. This
: "bung" is already cast into their
: manifold at the correct angle and maybe we
: could build from this.
