I voted on this thread a while back and cannot even remember what I voted for....LOL
The one thing I am convinced of is that the AMC 360 being fuel injected does not pay back the time and money put into it in regards to gas mileage. I think one is way better off doing two things: an overdrive conversion and ignition upgrade to TFI or HEI.
My wagon had fuel injection on it from the prior builder. It ran great but would not pass the "visual "from the smog inspectors. He eventually got way to frustrated and ripped it off and sold it. He put a basic edlebrock set-up back on it. That is the way it currently sits. He said it only got at most 2mpg better ever. I upped that by 5mpg with the OD and TFI conversion combination and when I turn the key it goes VROOM every time.
I will wait until it dies and then install and LS or L9 motor that was designed from the ground up for Fuel Injection. Besides, with the cost of FI, you can pick up a pulled L9 around here for 3k with the 460L or 480L transmission, harness and ECM. One would spend over 7k on an AMC motor to get it to the performance level. WHY?
