Hi Jim,
I have a suggested solution to your fuel injection problem that circumvents 
most ot the issues that you have envisioned. Holley markets a fuel injection 
system that will drive two throttle body type injectors. Two throttle body 
injectors would be required to replace each carburetor(P/N 950-23S). The 
computer is P/N 534-122. This system meters fuel through four injectors on 
each body similar to the four metering clusters in your carburetors. Fuel is 
introduced at the carburetor end of the ram tubes just like stock. No need 
to cut up the rams at all. You would need to find a place for the MAP 
sensor, probably in the crossover tube. You would also need the 
corresponding electric fuel pump and probably a long list of assorted dodads 
to fit it all together. The computer fuel curve is programmable through 
software provided by Holley to load on a laptop. Holley is very helpful on 
projects like this. But I think it would run rings around carburetors. 4 
mpg? This is very low even for a ram car. Most would get pretty good mileage 
when driven sensibly. Good luck. Larry Johnson
