Just wondering if anyone has experience with the Holley Digital Pro-jection system (P/N 501-12) or the Mopar Performance TBI conversion (P/N P5249385) conversions for the 4.2L. Obviously they should perform better than my Carter, so I'm looking for the problems installers have had. Any performance or installation problems? Thank you.

Currently working on the install for my 360. I am installing the pro-jection, and the fuel pump that is provided needs to be mounted BELOW the fuel tank, which is the main installation issue I am having. I do not want the pump to be that vulnerable. I am considering running the pump on the side of the tank, which would be an exhaust issue for most, but I run sidepipes, so I will not have to route around a tail pipe, or worry about the heat. I imagine the pump for the I6 is the same, so you will have similar issues. I am still tossing around ideas for the mounting now, so if anyone has suggestions let me know.

a few weeks ago, i installed the pro jection on the 360 in my jeep. for the fuel pump, i drilled a 3/8" hole in the gas tank skid plate on the driver's side of the tank. i mounted the pump with the bottom of the pump even with the bottom of the skidplate. considering the lift and the bumpers i have, the pump is relatively protected. i just fixed a vacuum leak tody so we'll see how much better it does now. it has eliminated flooding on steep hills though and improved the throttle response. i'm planning on doing a write up with some pictures but it will have to wait a couple of weeks until finals are over.

Ed,

If I was you I'd get it. I have the Mopar MPI and LIKE it. Runs like a top, had to change up the air filtering system cause the K & N air filter let in to much dirt made it start running crappy. I fit a 3 lb coffee can with a round air filter from the auto parts store and with some additional rubber hose from the junkyard, and some machined parts from a friend, I have an air filtering system that doesn't suck hot air from under the hood during the summer, and keeps my throttle body clean. I found and bought the kit for 1595.00 balancer included, also installed a roller timing chain on it while it was apart. Get it you'll be happy with it. Later.

I also liked the MPI kit, but if you want to do it right, get the 4.0L head at the same time. That is where I noticed good increase in power, but more importantly, a huge improvement in how it runs. The MPI kit has a problem with cold starts, that requires up to 5 minutes to idle up. Once I put the new head on (which was designed to work with the MPI kit), I couldn't be happier.
