350 horses from GMPP's modern "fuelie". From the late-1950s through the mid-1960s, GM offered the Ram Jet fuel injection system in a variety of models. The Ram Jet 350 evokes the nostalgic look of the early fuel injection system, with a styled intake plenum�but that's where the similarities end. Instead of a mechanical injection system, the Ram Jet 350 is fed by a state-of-the-art, electronically controlled port fuel injection system.
Developed by GM to the same standards as production vehicle systems, the Ram Jet 350 delivers exceptional throttle response and performance�all enabled by the sophisticated, latest-generation MEFI 4 controller, which has improved electronics and closed loop capability (compared with the previous MEFI 3 system) for great all-around drivability.
A tried-and-true 350-cubic-inch small-block combination anchors the Ram Jet 350. It is designed for long-lasting durability and pump-gas compatibility, with iron Vortec cylinder heads, a hydraulic roller camshaft and 9.4:1 compression.
GMPP delivers the engine with the necessary wiring harness and detailed instructions. It can be installed on any 1979-or-earlier vehicle originally equipped with a carburetor
