    Advice on doing an EFI conversion on carb intake

    Going to engine dyno break-in the new motor this weekend in carb form then the intake comes off for EFI conversion. It is an Edelbrock 2828 Super Victor 4500-series.
    I will be doing the EFI conversion with my father-in-law who is a very experienced CNC tool/die machinist. The engine builder will be port-matching the to the High Port heads and marking the best location in the port for the injector bungs.
    I need to order parts this week and would love some advice. I already know I need blank rails to make correctly spaced injector locations for the ports (standard rails with injector receivers are not spaced correctly for ports when I mocked them up).
    What you think about this:

    Any feedback appreciated.
    Here's the intake:

    J - Seems your links are dead for me ... Anyway, Ross Machine is who most the guys I know use for this stuff with custom / high end stuff (guys I know use a lot of their plenum stock). They carry the stock for -6, -8, and -10 sizes.

    Some real interesting options now if you are going to "start over" and from scratch (stagged injectors, angles, location, tip projection, etc) ... Interesting to see where you end up (I'm thinking Moran ... http://www.moranmotorsports.com/index.php) LOL :D

    Thanks for the links Bob, I will check them out.
    I've also thought of the dual runner or staggered deal but probably go basic this time and run single 160s on E85. Have actually been looking into the high end 'atomizer' 160s but probably no funds for that this year just do Bosch and possibly swap this winter.

    Edelbrock makes a standard 4150 2924 Super Victor already set-up for EFI as well as the rails I posted above already with injector ports.
    However, I always want to be difficult and that intake is the 'Glidden' 2828 Super Victor with 4500 Dominator and larger casting runners, but not T-stat provision and not offered with EFI bungs. The evenly spaced injector ports in the standard Edelbrock rails would make either the first or last injector placement suboptimal, thats why the linked rails above are blank and my father-in-law will tap them at the correct location.
    Bolting on the box-stock Edelbrock Super Vic EFI would have been much easier (and only a little cheaper) but where's the fun in that?
