265 Hemi to efi

Check your wiring harness against the 12P Camira wiring PDF and see if you have any wires installed that you don't need.
If the car was an auto there should be a couple spare pins that you can move to the correct spot for a wideband.

The donor car was a manual. 202 is sending me some pins so should be right now. Thanks

I may have a problem with the stock Hemi 6 cast intake manifold fitted with a 4 barrel plate not having enough clearance to fit the injector bosses at a nice angle after allowing for the injectors. Normally I would just use a Hemi 6 manifold with longer runners but the turbo exhaust manifold has been designed around the stock intake manifold and I am not sure the longer runners will fit. I am now thinking of modifying an early Ford efi cast aluminium manifold and matching it to a triple weber manifold. The weber manifold transitions from the square Hemi 6 ports to the Ford rounds runners and the Ford runners nearly line up to to the Hemi ports. The exhaust manifold gets pretty close to the weber manifold at one point so the exhaust manifold may need to be modified. I suppose it all depends on how much it will cost.

An alternative I have thought of is using a smaller plate on the stock manifold and then using say a 90 mm aluminium elbow to go to throttle body, this would leave enough length in the runners to fit the injectors at 45 degrees. This would be cheaper but I like the idea of having a proper plenum setup.

I have found this distributor that is already stripped of the mechanical and vacuum advance mechanisms. I just has the reluctor setup and seems to spin ok and isn't loose, would this be ok to use? I cant see that I need to weld anything up as it seems already 'locked' as such. Thanks

Sorry, I meant to add pics as it doesn't make much sense without them. Will do so later and also a pic of the turbo setup and manifold.

Some photos of distributor and mock up of turbo, intake and throttle body on spare motor. I think I will just stay with the stock manifold with the two barrel base as it fits so well. I will see if I can get a aluminium bend that starts oval shaped to match the two barrel base plate and goes to round to match the throttle body. I don't think there should be much problem with restriction as the surface area of the oval intake would be about the same as a 65mm circle. Plus there is a turbo to push through it.

Bonus, Discovered this is an ELB distributor so should be perfect as no need to weld anything.

Yea dizzy will work perfectly with the manifold you can't make up a set of very short runners to bolt between the intake manifold and the head out of steel you can fit the injectors bosses in? Or how thick is the manifold it's self you maybe able to drill and a hole and create a chamfer around the hole for the injector

Thanks Dazza. The manifold pictured should be ok, the problem could be with the one I bought that had a 4 barrel plate welded to it.

Heres a picture of the two manifolds side by side. The two barrel one shouldn't have any problems fitting the injector bosses at 45 degrees but I don't think the orange 4 barrel one wouldn't allow enough room for the fuel rail.

The two barrel one might be restrict the air flow a bit, I suppose I could fit bigger baseplate to open it up a bit.
