Re: [T3] Im having DARRRK thoughts too!!

Greetings all, I've been lurking on this list for awhile now but after 
reading Keith's email, I decided it was time to step up ! I am also thinking 
of doing the type 4 swap in my 65 Notch, and to that end I have recently 
acquired a fresh engine from a 77 bus, along with all the fuel injection 
components.  
  
 I would like to retain the fuel injection, for the reason that they just run 
so nice with it, I can't imagine ever getting carbs to run that well. OK, the 
fact that I wouldn't have to pay for/adapt the carbs is a very big plus as 
well = )  !  As others have mentioned, the airbox/sensor is huge on the type 
II's and is never going to fit in the engine compartment without some serious 
modifications. 
    Can anyone tell me if there would be a noticable HP loss if I were to 
retro fit the 411 system to my (as of this moment) stock 2 liter, as compared 
to the L-jet ? I would hate to lose any power or reliablity if at all 
possible.   I mean, what would be the point ? 
  I already have the 411 cooling air bellows I need, and I like the method 
Dan Zink used to solve the rear engine hanger dilemma, I don't want any 
'butchery' involved in this swap, nothing I can't change back if and when I 
ever decide to power down and return it to stock. 
  What do you guys think ? Is there anyone out there using the L-jet in a 
type III ? Thanks so very much for your input,
