Hi Jim. You're the gent in Tucson, right? I've done a little research on
putting EFI on a 292 or 302. I have a book on EFI someplace. I guess if you
knew what you were doing, you could do it fairly inexpensively (cheap). I
got a rough quote of abt $1500 to have a system built, including the
controller. But so far I haven't found a truck. (50-55 GMC). Bob K in PHX,
AZ.
