Curious on the horse power our Dodge 440 have ? Thinking of going with an aftermarket fuel injection system, anyone done this or know someone that has ?

I was also thinking of converting to electronic fuel injection. If you come across any manufactures with a kit for a 440 I would like to check it out. Currently my Clipper is at Fort Irwin waiting for me to put her back together and my location Camp Udairi, Kuwait. :shock:

I'm not sure about this - but in California - smog regs may be an issue with trying to convert to fuel injection.
Better check it out before spending the time and money.
I installed Holly Projection on my 76 Clipper with a 360. I got a little more power and it starts up right away every time. Didn't gain any MPG :( I bought it through Jegs and installed it myself in a weekend.
www.allpar.com/forums had a thread talking about this a while back.
Under the Performance topic. I remember They were talking $2500 for some conversion kit.
Have you noticed the general trend of people wanting to fix thier RV's
get out and head to the hills?
I have spent nearly every all the extra cash I have on my Clipper for the
last 11 months. To include even stop smoking for quite some time....
New Rincon 360
New Holley 2bbl
3 new load range D tires ( just so they would tow it to the auto hobby shop ) Wanted E's but who has $220 a tire....
15 mile Towing bill
Fuel, oil, supplies
Hoses, belts
Fabricated engine craddle - to pull engine
EGR valve
Starting to scroung all the smog pump parts ( if I have to reinstall
it )
Probably over 2 weeks strait of all-day heavy task orientated work.
many loads of fuel soaked laundry
Blown out a 2 sets of brand new mechanics gloves......
Still don't know if the Shore power works.
Rear faucet is bad
Propane leaks if tank valve opened.
Inverter probably inop - smoked and lid found in compartment
Black water tank probably solidified
Brake lights inop
Turn signal cam inop
Trans fluid need serviced, brakes need bleed / changed
Rear axle fluid needs changed....
Wheel bearings packed.
In other words - I got took.
But I got to have a place to sleep. If I can't walk right into a job.
Not to mention pay storage on my belongings.......
Ex-e-poo gets 32.3 % of my retirement check
$437 a year to keep Tri-Care for everyone
Try to get child support lowered commencerate to Wal-Mart pay....
Yeah.....
And they wonder why people go ROAD for thier last 6 months.
My only solice is; you know, just working on my RV.
I'll get it done.
But I bet you that On my trip to retirement, some DUMB idiot
crashes into me, the COPS tow my RV with all my belongings,
and I am homeless.
You don't want to know what my cardboard sign will say.
Now I have to go back to work. My dufus CC just called
and wants a shipping estimate DoDACC to DoDACC for a pallet
of nasty expired junk Training NBC suits and boots.
Never mind that is all is supposed to go to one DoDACC and be
evaluated for possible re-use.
"Hear at crazy Dave's used Chem Gear, We WON'T be undersold!"
Anyway,
Keep up the Good Fight !
I'm sending out some of the solitude - God Bless.
