Has anyone converted a Buick odd-fire 225 V6 to an analog throttle body injection? If so, what system and/or components were used?

the Rochester TBI system shouldn't care whether the engine is odd fire or even fire... it merely takes throttle position and compares it to engine RPM,temperature and engine vacum
the "computer" then provides a square wave pulse to the two injectors ...

As long as you have a way to install a Hall-effect style distributor it shouldn't be too hard to adapt the injection from a 4.3 TBI or similar to the 225 V6

I would also have to strongly suggest searching out the Ih8mud site ( look in the landcruiser section...):D

I researched this awhile back and came to the conclusion that for the money to do it, I could put a nice little Vortec in it instead...

check out the Jeepster forum on ORC and search for "fuel injection and buick odd fire v6" and you should come up with aquite a few hits...

I don't have the knowledge of "engineering" (or reengineering) a FI system, so I wouldn't even know where to start, but I'm getting pretty good at putting parts in a truck that shouldn't normally be there ;)

yep, I came to the realization that it'd be cheaper to put the 350 thats sitting in my garage in . Oh and more cubes is always nice ;) those links are cool though

Well, so much for the 225. Too bad 'cause it's a good motor. I guess my 3.8L Ford V6 is gonna have a new home. Thanks for the links and info.

Damn GM iron!!
