The carburator question thread got me to wondering if anyone has heard of someone putting fuel injection on IH gas motors. I'd imagine the larger 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder motors would see a big difference in all-around fuel economy. They tell me carburators have "rpm sweet spots" where the power and fuel burned is optimized and that at other rpm settings the air-fuel ratios are not as optimal whereas fuel injection enables every rpm to be air-fuel optimized.

I figure throttle port injection from a late 80's/early 90's 4 cylinder GM motor could be fitted on the four cylinder motors and a similar throttle body injection system from a 6 cylinder GM motor on the 6 cylinder IH motors. Any you boys or girls put fuel injection on your older gas IH iron? At today's gas prices, it would be interesting to see if it would save $6 - $10/day for a hard worked tractor.

I know a feller what has one o' them injected IH Ms.

He's using a constant flow system made from various scavenged Hilborn parts spraying methanol. Of course he also spins it over 5,000 rpm and has a big ol' turbo on it too.

I doubt its saving him anything on operating costs, but it sure looks fun!

I fuel injected and turbocharged my M farmall about 5 years ago, but no where would let me pull it, so I took everything back off and went back to the carb. It is very easy to fuel inject an old tractor, if you are really interested in it, just send me an email. I would use a more adjustable system than an old chevy TBi setup though.
