Hey guys,

simple question. I want to know if I can replace my fuel injected plenum with a carbureted system. I've looked over the net and asked the car guys at work but no one seems to know. I've seen one guy put a 460 in his with dual holleys but I want to do it with the stock 289.

let me know if anyone know's of a part of has some ideas =)

thanks!

Mike

why would you want to it'd be more problematic then anything

You old school guys make me laugh.
But I doubt there's any reason it can't be done, I've seen a plenum for the 4.6L that had a carb mounting position in the middle in just the last couple of days, but I have no idea where it was. also, you'd have cut a hole in the firewall for a throttle cable, probably make some fuel system changes probably have to go to an aftermarket computer... and end up losing power throughout most of the RPM range.
Oh, and it's a 281, not a 289.

Haha it sounds like my husbands cousin who was trying to convince him to put a pushrod 302 in my car lol

It just doesn't make sense....

Not if the car doesn't sit.

OP, look at Sullivan Performance. They used to make an intake for the 4.6 2 valves...
Maybe they'll something available for the 3V.
Sean Hyland is another place to look into.

Nothing wrong with a pushrod but I'd go 408 at least (out of a 351W block), make it count!!

Why??

Saw a v6 guy swap a 525(?) HEMI in his S197.

I've had both, and I much prefer fuel injection. I don't want to go back to carburetors or points & condensers.
