Sounds like someone needs to go junyarding and look for a 454 with the tbi and computer. Probably be alot cheaper than AFI.

[eggman]

Might as well since you arent trying to re-create the wheel. All you are doing is installing a newer tbi on an older engine. Code readers are easy to find and you can even hook up a laptop to it and see what it is doing.

You'll have to loof for the vehicles that carried the 454 in them, ie the surburbans, big pickups, larger 1 ton vans. Those kind would possibly have them in them.

Mac, If you would sell me your bus then you could buy one with the right engine in it for your needs.

If you are willing to swap in a very very electronic diesel you are more man than I. Those things are a MESS of wiring. I'd rather deal with swapping in a 6BT that came in boxes of parts than mess with that wiring.

Scrounge around for that TBI setup. If all else fails look into a Projection system. They seem a bit cheaper than that setup you were looking at. Check around on other boards if you don't have success in the local junkyards (it's all about the 1-tons, man). Offroad/4wd sites are probably going to be your best bet. If you were REAL lucky you'd find a set of Vortec 454 heads you could swap on as well. You'd needa new intake, but no biggie there. Then you'd gain power AND mileage.
