I know efi conversions are done all the time. I am thinking about replacing my superchargers. Has anyone used a downdraft setup? Why? Why not?

I mainly put that for a picture. Love the look of this type of setup. Just wondering who has done something similar and what problems and issues come along with it. Also, what marine rated systems are available.

There is that cheap Chinese one and then kinsler for $$$$$.
BUP at boat unlimited put one together a few years ago. I doubt any of them would technically be “marine rated”
If it were me, I’d piece together a tunnel ram and dual 4 barrel TB setup with a Holley efi.

For an aggressive bbc, the profiler tunnel ram is the best out the box manifold there is.

All of this is big $$ to do. What kind of $$ are we talking? I mean whipples are 10k each and I’ll need 2. Right now I have 250 blowers making about 650hp. When it’s time to re-power I’m thinking 540’s but don’t really want to go dual carb. Would like to be more efficient but still make 650hp. Not looking to make big power.
