Friend of mine is doing a frame off restoration on a 76 Dodge pickup. It was his Dad's and he wants to keep it near stock mechanically and appearance wise.
It has the stock MOPAR 360 and an automatic transmission.
He wants modern fuel injection and good driveability.
He is not opposed to rebuilding the stock motor and transmission and adding an aftermarket fuel injection system.
And he is also willing to upgrade to a later fuel injected engine and AOD transmission if that is practical.
What advice can you give him concerning recommended after market fuel injection systems and practical later model engine/transmission swaps.
This will be a weekend driver. He wants fuel injection because he wants it ready to go when he is.
Why not just swap in a 5.9 from a later model truck along with the trans? Howell engine development can set him up with a computer system to run it.
