Fuel Injection ? Horse Power now ?

[Den]

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.

Anyway,

Keep up the Good Fight !  

I'm sending out some of the solitude -  God Bless.
