Anyone ever use a Holley Sniper 550-552 EFI (single Barrel) on a 135 F engine? Assuming you could bolt it all up, any reason it shouldn't be done?

I have seen this discussed but am not sure who has done it. You may need an adapter but I dont know why it wouldnt workThe Sniper 550 is a single barrel EFI threat might work on the early F motor with single barrel carb. I believe the 550 was built for the ford online 6 engines found in Mustangs... Just wondering if anyone has put one in an early F engine?
Mechanical pump?... Doesn't require electric pump in the tank?It’s going pretty well. Currently need to replace the mechanical pump as it gave up the ghost recently and no longer pumps to the surge tank.

Still need to finish replacing the spring bushings. They are all completely destroyed or missing altogether. The parking brake needs replaced and I’ve got a little leak at the seal back there. Probably knock both of those out at the same time. Also a leak in one of the oil filter line popped up...forum.ih8mud.com

Does Holley sell the surge tank?
Not that I know of. Here is one that some others have used successfully:

I did not see one when I was shopping. Mine is a FiTech unit. 50006 Go Fuel Force Fuel Mini Surge Tank - FiTech Fuel Injection - https://fitechefi.com/product/50006-go-fuel-force-fuel-mini-surge-tank/Does Holley sell the surge tank?
yes, multiple. I enjoy the TBI for many reasons....but the main reason is the ability to let the car sit for a month and I can walk right up to it and start it up without any issues. Fuel these days just plain sucks. I wish I could jump in my 40 (and all the other things I've hoarded) everyday and go for a cruise to get her nice and hot......but I can't. I keep stabil in all my carbureted cars and boats that aren't used daily, fuel still gums up in them.......sorry if this answer moved too far away from your question!Has anyone ever tried one of the many non Toyota single-barrel carbs available? Like Rochester, Zenith, Carter, AutoLite for Ford and Chevy straight-6 engines?
It was only recently brought to my awareness regarding all the options which very likely bolt directly to the early (pre-smoggy) manifolds. I have something on the bench right now, if anyone is interested to see? The Rochester B/BC clone carb at $200 (less, and more expensive options also exist as new carbs) and a fuel pump could be a trail spare that would take up as much room as an air compressor? There must be about four other Ford Chevrolet AMC carbs also to chose from; lots of similar displacement inline 6 engines out there. Aside from throttle linkage/cable, the air cleaner assembly (which could be a cheap one mounted to the carb), some fuel hose... There must be some stuff I'm forgetting. PCV?yes, multiple.
