If you have went carb'd


Ok so I am putting a 347 in my car and it is a full motor complete with carb already on, and eventually I want to go fuel injected but i have to buy an intake to support the air flow and bigger injectors and some type of management system, so i was thinking of going carb'd while I was in the process of getting parts. And I was just wondering if anyone can give me feed back of going from fuel injected to carb'd. I had an old 86 blazer with a elderbrock 650 on it and I had no troubles with a carb. Anyone have any input?

you gas mileage will suffer, but if that is not a concern, then it will be easier to go carbed.

Also I am looking to buy a set of 42lb injectors and if anyone is willing to trade I have a set of 24's and a set on 19's plus some money or something else if anyone wants to trade for something.

If you are going with 42lb jectors, you should know that the harness must stay in. Carb?... get rid of your whole ECM system as it will be useless at some point

You probably don't need a tuner, unless you are going with 42s.
