The decision was made today. I'll use an aftermarket ECU.
I picked up a "spider" from a 4.3 Vortec V6 today, and have set into motion designing my "fuel meter". The 4.3 had a throttle body type meter setting inside the manifold. It metered fuel into a spider with lines running into the individual runners. At the end of the line was a "poppet" valve. They ran on about sixty lbs of fuel pressure. The fuel pressure reg was within the manifold as well. I'll make a new "spider" that will have two fuel meters instead of the one, and eight lines. If an adjustable aftermarket fuel pressure regulator isn't available to 60lbs, I'll figure out how to use Mr. Goodwrench's unit. The "poppet valves" are the only real challenge I see now, but tomorrow I'll see how they are made, and if I can use them.
I'm kinda excited about this thing.
Wishing all a GREAT weekend!!
