I am looking into converting my farmall 560 gas to fuel injection. What is involved, what parts do I need etc?

I am building a pulling tractor. I am going to be using a turbo, so I want to do away with at least the carb innards.

well just run a carb in an enclosure with the fuel pressure referenced to the boost.... i.e 1 pound more fuel for every pound of boost-

Or you could run a draw through set up or mechanical fuel injection- sounds like you need to visit with a local puller, buy him dinner, and ask and learn a lot of stuff...

Well, if it's a fuel injected tractor you're after, I'd start looking for a fuel-injected tractor first. I can't imagine why anyone would dump that kinda money and effort into a project like that. Not to mention ruining a darn good system that has worked since before the last century.

Just find a wrecked late 80s early 90s throttle body fuel injected GMC/Chevy truck. Will have to adapt the fuel tank for a high pressure pump or mount an external one and have provisions for a fuel return- the truck will have the goofy fittings that attatch to the TBI unit- and you will need a safe place for the computer to sleep, away from moisture and critters. Make an adapter for the TBI to the tractor manifold with some plate and elbows. Good luck with the wiring harness- really nice weatherpack connectors, but all the extra wire now added to your tactor will be a prime target for CRITTERS! Need to adapt a few sensors with bushings perhaps to the engine, coolant temp, manifold pressure, knock and an oxygen sensor. The throttle position is built into the TBI. Again, this is a lot of wiring that will be a prime canidate for the mice to nibble. Only hard thing will be finding a proper computer chip for the computer and without a VSS (speed sensor) your computer will always throw codes at you; but it will run fine. But why add all those wires to a tractor that never sees high rpms? Just stick with a coil wire and a carb? But it is your tractor- just let us know how you figure out how to protect that wiring from the critters! And don't forget some sort of roll over safety device so the fuel pump quits if you ever roll the tractor- it would be the least of your worries if you roll the tractor but you don't want a fuel pump adding fuel to an inferno when you are pinned underneath it.

forget to add- need a machinist to adapt your distributor to an HEI/ signal for computer and timing control/ from the pickup but that is fairly common as HEI has been added to all sorts of different engines, just a little pricey...

Summit racing has everything. Are you thinking "speed density" or "mass airflow"? Are you going to upgrade the ignition for detonation detection & spark control? Going to run the fuel injection system open loop or closed loop? Throttle body or port injection? Sequential or batch fire injectors?
