390 FE Fuel Injection?

No, no, no, and no. I got the TBI type system. It's got a 4 injector pod above the intake manifold. No modification necessary. Just squirts fuel down into the manifold. Not as efficient as a multi-port injection setup, but at 15mpg from a 390, I wont complain. Oh, the intake is a plain old Performer RPM.
No direct injection obviously.
No crank sensor. I'm using a Mallory Unilite distributor. It works fine when you curve it correctly. The Holley fuel injection computer CAN control timing, but I currently dont have it set up to. Once you get the timing curve where you want it, where's the advantage? Sure, if you're going racing every weekend you could change timing a lot easier, but since I'm not...
If you want to go with a real multi-port setup, I suggest you find an Edelbrock Streetmaster 390 intake manifold. It has the ports in line which will make it easier to run injectors.

I am putting together a multiport system for a 390 shortly, using a Megasquirt controller, DUI HEI distributor, and a 4BBL intake with a throttle body and adaptor from an EFI 460.
Here is a site that tells how to make the fuel rails and intake injector bungs. It deals primarily with using a Subaru engine in an aircraft, but the technology is the same.

The system I'm using has a computer. I can program it using my laptop. I have complete control over all fuel (and spark if I were utilizing that function) controls. It is Holley's design. See here. Startup is great, turn the key and it's going. No chokes, no pumping the accelerator pump, no cold start worries. It's great. When set properly, it idles nice and smooth. You can still "hear" the cam I've got in it, though.
The streetmaster was meant to be a lower-end single plane intake, for usage on the street. It is no longer manufactured, but is readily available from a number of sources. The Victor is a large single plane intake designed for one thing: High end power.
