It would almost certainly be more fuel efficient. The main reason the auto makers went to fuel injection was to maximize fuel efficiency and emissions. An additional benefit is that it is much more driver friendly than a carburetor. Just turn the key and go. FI might or might not be faster. Several episodes of Engine Masters have dealt with the issue of carbs vs. fuel injection and have shown that a properly adjusted carburetor makes just as much horsepower as fuel injection, as long as it is not restricting air flow. The 6-pack had really good air flow. If I remember correctly it was like 1350 cfm.

Beautiful build!

It looks fantastic. Great job!

Thanks everyone!

Beautiful model. I didn't know that the Charger III body was used as a race car.

Nice job! Awesome paint on all 3!

Nicely done. Great job with the modifications to update the look of the Chrysler!

Nicely done!

Got this one as a Christmas present. A member of our local model club asked me what I was going to do with all that chrome, and it made me think of stripping it down and making a gasser. It took me all of a football playoff game to sand off all the body chrome, which I guess would have been about half the time it would take to do all of the BMF! The paint is airbrushed Createx blue pearl covered with Duplicolor 1K clear, which seems to be a near foolproof combination. Decals are the "Christine" decals cut up to make "Cretin". The engine is cloned from the AMT Chrysler 392 hemi, but using Dodge rocker covers. Fuel injection stacks are Detail Master (I think) left over from another project. Parts box wheels and tires. Not too many 3d printed parts this time, just the front end components, gasser headers and the roll bar. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful rendition of a classic!

Wow! Super clean. That is a fantastic build. One of the finest I have ever seen.

Wow! Nicely done. Beautiful paint and detail!

Thanks everyone!

Awesome build! I love the mural!

Beautiful!
