2.8l with 3400 heads and MPFI swap

[Guest]

BECAUSE RACE CAR.

No just kidding, but BECAUSE as i said its my daily driver and i dont have the time for it to be down for weeks. What i proposed is the easy way to get the swap done and running enough to use. If the things were more easy and more information was abundant, perhaps more people would do more with the 2.8l. The engine is not a bad engine, the top end just has to go.
If that is true, then why dont you tell us why it would work terribly? It has got to be better then the shitty intakes on the iron heads, carb or not. Yeah it may not bring as much perfromance as MPFI or SFI but it will work. I said i was installing the 3400 fuel rails and injectors so i can upgrade to MPFI when i have all the bugs figured out. Just a swap of the upper intake and fuel lines will get rid of the TBI. Out of all the GM 6 cylinders produced, im sure there is a distributor that will work. Also im good at figuring out a way to make things work.
It was just general speaking, if there is more air going through the engine at a faster rate it will run lean, so a small bump in fuel pressure will be good enough until MPFI is obtained. Ill prove you wrong and any one else who doubts this.

LMAO! You have a LOT to learn then.

No fuel pressure changes will not do what you think it will, period. Been tried many times, by a lot of people, fuel delivery changes are not a linear change. You will only prove yourself wrong on this one.

Why doesn't the intake work well in the configuration you propose? Because it's designed as a DRY FLOW intake, remember that, it's important. The fuel when introduced into a large plenum above runners that are spread out like they are in the gen 3 660 intake do not support a wet flow system well at all. The fuel does not stay in suspension and ends up puddling in the upper intake, which cause rich spikes once enough fuel has accumulated, which then causes the engine to run poorly, even just briefly.

I don't see why the vehicle would have to be down for weeks, to go MPFI, it would likely take LESS time to just go MPFI from the get go, than to try to this TBI on top of the gen3 intake plan of yours. If anything it would take mere hours longer changing over to MPFI from TBI, not weeks, not even days.

Lastly, if there was a dizzy that would clear the intake even from another vehicle people would already be using them.
