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 be removing the stock ECU and the entire engine wiring harness, which you can replace with one wire from the relay board to the coil (black wire, 18g is good enough).
What you'll need while driving the car with this engine is a shorter flat-blade screwdriver, and some practice on removing the idle jets with everything in the car. You'll do this fairly regularly to clean junk out of those jets. If you drain and carefully clean your gas tank and fit a new fuel filter along with that new pump, you'll reduce the need for this somewhat. I did all of this, and still had to clean out one idle jet this weekend on a long drive. |
