    so saturday i was driving up a pretty long hill and the old 250cid was only pushing the car up the hill doing around 25-30mph. i had the pedal to the floor and couldn't get any more from it. i've been thinking about doing a 5.0 fuel injection and aod conversion on this car because it is my dailey driver. it would be nice to be able to acctually step on the pedal and have some go. but i do like having the strait six in the car. so i have a baisic idea of the things i would need to do the conversion but would like to know what some of you guys who did fuel injection conversions to your cars had to go through to get it running. i figure if i decided to go this way i will buy a doner car with all the wiring and a factory computer. any advice would be welcomed so bring it on. i know i could do a v8 carbed conversion pretty easily but have decided that if i convert one of these cars again it is getting fuel injection.
