my $5k engine is going to have carbs. my current is FI.

so i know i need to cap off the fuel return, do a jumper on the fuel pump for constant pressure.... what else?

is there a definitive list? i would like to make this as painless as possible so when the motor arrives, i have made the needed changes or modifications to ease things along.

i will keep a list of comments and ultimately post what i am told and what i find to work for future folks making the changes....

thanks in advance...

you'll have to change fuel pumps to one with a much lower operating pressure/volume.

carbs like 3-5psi, unlike the 30psi that your current pump puts out... ...Fire! plus get a decent regulator (or a cheap one with a decent guage to make sure it is working)

also, for the 999th time..
why cap the return
a recirculatory fuel system is better, and more powerful for any engine wether it be f.i. or carbed.
