Hilborn 4 Door
« on: December 23, 2014, 11:45:33 AM »
 Hi, If memory serves me correct, Hilborn made, or still makes a couple of 4 port injectors. What was the reason for the different ones and why was one tall and the other short? Would a 3" work on a 392 Hemi with a 5% under driven,6-71?
  Thanks Spud

The short one was made for Mickey Thompson for his B'ville car

So that's why they made 4 door's, for B'ville cars? Really. I wonder if it would work any differently than the taller version?

The only diference would be the dia of the throttle blades

I think M/T paid for the patterns and got the Injectors he needed and Hilborn was allowed to sell them to others
