302 Rebuild

Nitrous Injected · October 21st, 2008, 10:33 PM

i was rebiulding a 302 and was looking to stroke it out to a 347 or a 331.... the ? is that i was wondering if it would be best to go with eaither a carb. or fuel injecected. this car is going to be a weekend car and a drag car not a DD so keep that in mined. the only reason i am looking to go carb is because i am scared of wireing up the EFI system. please all comments well be helpful.
THANKS

really the efi system isnt that bad, but if its going to be a weekend car, just throw a good carb on it and be done with it.

its a prefrence thing honestly. if you want a carb and know how to tune one go that route.

What is there to wire up? Do it the easy way and use the factory wiring harness.

Fuel injection is my choice... but for a weekend/drag strip exclusive car might as well go carb

If it is already EFI, stick with the EFI, all you'll need is some bigger injectors and matching MAF, a fuel pump, and maybe a tune.

If you don't have any of the EFI stuff, go carbed, as it will be much easier than piecing together a functional EFI system.
