Fuel Injection

[Glenn]

I would like to install a contemporaty, fuel injected engine in an Avanti II. Does anyone have some insight on how this might be done? Has anyone done it?

An Avanti II has a standard Chevy V8, so any kit that will fit another

Gen I block will fit the Avanti II.

Edelbrock and Holley each make well regarded aftermarket fuel injection units for the small block Chevy. Personally I like the Edelbrock but that's me. I would not try and get used parts from a junkyard Chevy...you would play hell getting all the parts needed and the ECU. You would be way ahead money and hassle-wise to get the complete kit from Edlebrock or Holley. You can talk to their techs and provide them with the information they need to get you a computer chip tailored to your needs.

What I would really like to see is have someone with the bucks and the 'nads to install a GM LS-series crate engine in an older Avanti. That would be some kind of schweet! I could see installing a crate 505 horsepower LS7 in a Stude framed car and watch the car spin around the engine when cranking it over!
