    Frankenbody

    hopefully here in the next few weekends i will be finishing installing a frankenbody on my 1969 chevy truck. i have already added a in tank fuel pump to the factory tank and have run fuel and return line up to the engine. i have already cut the two throttlebodys and am getting ready to make a few modifications on them to make them work for me i then will put them together. my computer has already been modified by dynamic efi to run 4 injectors and i will be running an OD BJYL bin . i will also be running and aftermarket external fuel pressure regulator instead of the factory ones. my question is when i do the first start up do i need to divide the VE tables in half to adjust for the extra injectors? also is there anything else you can think of that i need to do to get this going? my first project is coming along pretty good i still have a little more to adjust on idle and warm up idle but the open throttle running down the road is almost dialed in i think. i will have to upload a datalog for you to take a look at. next i will be hooking up a wideband o2 to further tune it. i will upload some pics from both projects when i get closer to the 69's start up. any advise would be appreciated.

    I don't why people bother with modifying the injector drivers. The PCM is capable of running 4 injectors without issue.
    You start just like any conversion. Start with a stock bin and adjust as needed. You will have to reduce the VE table in the idle area, but it may not be by half, it might be less, it might be more.

    Nice truck! Really nice motor! I've seen those TBs cut in half before, way more daring then me! Cool Project!

    As Six said just tune it. The only thing I can think of I would change is the injector size... and I'm not sure what to do there. Since the bin wants one injector and you have two, add them up and enter it? Must be calculated by fuel pressure as well. Could play with this setting a little to make VE closer.
