whoa that look's great ! look's simple i would love to get one for my 3400 then that way i would not have to deal with the ecu at all
but i wonder how good it works ?

[geldartb]

thats what i was thinking certainly would be easier than screwing with the ecu.

my guess is he prob had in an older hot rod or something. just by looking at it you would most likely end up cutting a hole in the hood.

pretty sick get up none the less and for the 100 bucks either way it couldnt be a bad buy.

yeah i would really like to go carbed on my set up but i don't want to go back to the iron heads and i would also like for it to be tucked under the hood is possible because anybody can weld a carb flanged to the top of a 3500 manifold and have it sticking out of the hood LOL

That is the second time the setup has been for sale.

A 600 cfm carb seems like overkill on one of these engine.....

wow, what a quick way to lose power, driveability, tuneability, gas mileage and part of your hood... those of you who think it's easier to tune a carb obviously have never done it.

Fuel injection is MUCH more accurate in every way, Leave the carbs on the 70's cars where they belong.

Upgrade? try downgrade for the oldschool gear heads that are afraid of a mouse and keyboard. Yes, 2nd time and what we need is a new LIM design with the carb setup (1 piece manifold). This 2 piece is junk for a carb vs what is possible.

Yea the SFI manifolds have too much plenum for a Carb. Drivability would be the shits. Full throttle and high Rpm might be ok though.

Although the initial cost of tuning your EFI system is higher once you have the means to do it you will not have to spend another dime. You can do it as often as you like without even opening your hood. I guarantee anyone who can tune a carb can learn EFI tuning basics in a day and in a week they will be well versed in the subject. I bet it would take ten times longer to do the same if you were learning to tune a carb for the first time. Plus EFI gives you feedback unlike a carb. Of course you could put a wideband O2 sensor on your carb setup to get feedback, but if you go that far you may as well go all the way

Speaking the truth... I work on a race car and I HATE trying to tune that damn carb... friken plug checks, and it means NOTHING if you dont shut the engine off RIGHT after it was run hard because then you just see the idle mixture...
