Fuel Injection to Carb swap..'95 F-150
i would like to know if anyone knows what all is involved in swapping a fuel injection system to a carb. Im looking to get rid of the computer, wiring, smog pump, and emission system. any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
In case everyone is wondering, I'm turning the truck into a Street/Strip truck. I'm doing the swap because I can't really afford the parts for the EFI motor. Don't get me wrong, I know that their not usually meant for racing, but we have alot of imports in North Carolina and I'm out to show them what horsepower is. I dont want to invest into another truck, simply for the reason that it was my grandfather's. I already have the intake, carb, and 32 Gal Fuel Cell. Also does anyone know if that can be insured for street use after emissions are gone???

why ? its would probably be at the very least 10x cheaper to find an old carbureted rig... plus... isn't that going backwards ? Whatever floats your boat i guess, but your going to have a hard time finding aftermarket parts for the project. The demand for something like this is probably really low. Custom may be the only way to go, but I am not sure. Good luck to ya bud.

You need to do the following changes and maybe more.
Replace the intake manifold.
Select a carburator.
Get the proper transmission contol hardware.
A disrtibutor with centrifigal advance built in.
An ignition box to fire a coil.
Make a fuel system change to low pressure fuel feed, the carb needs to have.
And all the little supporting pieces.
