Throttle Body Injection for 50 Yr. Old Farmalls?

Posted by Bill in NC on September 07, 2005 at 11:48:43 from (24.172.3.146):

Was driving down the road thinking about a common response
seen on this board regarding how gas Farmalls have fewer
operating hours than diesel Farmalls of the same type because
of the better fuel use characteristics of diesels. A carburator is
optimized to a certain power/rpm range, whereas injectors in a
diesel provide a means to optimize across a much wider power/
rpm range. A diesel 656 can idle or it can run full power pulling
a bottom plow and the injectors deliver the optimum fuel charge
for the two vastly different air flow and power conditions.

Has anyone heard of anyone taking a throttle-body type injector
system from, say, a 2.8 liter Chevy V-6 and putting it on a
Farmall 560 gas engine? I hear about hot rodders putting fuel
injection on all sorts of old motors. It seems like it could be
done for a tractor motor. Would there still be a need for a
governor? If so, how would someone inter-link a governor to a
fuel injection unit? Seems like a throttle-body fuel injection
system would naturally act like a governor set-up what with its
mass air flow sensor and (I assume) rpm monitoring system.

Anybody heard of throttle body fuel injection retrofitted to
Farmalls?
