The truth is, if the EFI systems available today were around in 1965, they would have been in the Ford catalog as a factory option if not on the showroom floor on a K code 289 FB, just like they were on some of the early Corvettes(mechanical fuel injection, then eventually EFI). A modern EFI system in a way was never intended to be in a Classic Mustang, but only as a matter of fact they they didn't exist....
Ford and Shelby did play with the idea of Fuel injection and IRS. The famous "Green Hornet" is proof. I have to agree if Ford could have made it a cost effective option, it would have been available.

Yes Ford did, but back then IRS was just not cost effective because they wanted to produce a sports car that would not cost more than a dollar per pound. European sports cars were coming out with IRS but they were twice as expensive as Mustangs. And Ford needed a car that could rival the Pontiac GTO and the Dodge Charger and the Chevy Chevelle. The pony car was not really the answer to the muscle cars that other companies were putting out but by 1968 the KR was that answer.

Not only would I, I did. With Good ole ECCIV. I have heard some very positive things about Mega squirt though. I wouldent be afraid to try it, especially on a modified engine.
