I have a 1984 Z28 that I'm wanting to put an lq4 in. I've read through some of the other swap threads but it seems that most of them are swaps into cars that are fuel injected to start with. My car is carb'd. I would really like to convert to efi for this swap but I'm not sure if it would be cost-effective or worth the effort. What all would I need to convert this car to efi? Would I just be better off to get a msd6010 and carb/intake?

Thanks in advance for any help and opinions.

 

Funny you should ask.

Thank you, I've been trying to use the search but I'm trying from my phone since my computer isn't working and this opera browser doesn't seem to work with the search feature. Everytime I try to search it brings up the window, I type in what I'm looking for and then it goes right back to the same current threads.

I don't have a picture of the engine swap relay/fuse box. I'll try to get one of that sometime.

 

Thanks, that is exactly what I'm looking for.

 

My 87 has the carbed lines setup as well (passenger side instead of drivers). I may end up grabbing new lines from FineLines to spare myself the aggrevation of bending everything to fit in the stock locations. To me, they're inexpensive enough to think twice about doing it myself. then just mod from there.

 

A carb'd '87 will have the in-tank electric pump already. It won't be high enough pressure to run any EFI system, though.

Aluminum fuel line stock is extremely easy to work with. I don't know how much that outfit charges for lines, and I have cutting and flaring equipment. This is a case where I'd spend the time to save the bucks (actually, I did. . .).

 

Using a 3rd gen sending unit from an EFI equipped car would be easier than converting to the 4th gen tank and swapping over to a 90ohm sending unit

Older cars arent much more difficult to wire even with conflicting diagrams and lack of enough fuses/relays. Building a small fuseblock with relays to just power the engine, fuel and fans fits the bill. Existing wiring is plenty enough to run the new block. Some swappers reuse the stock fuseblock that came with the new engine. While this is fine, it is quite but bulky and has alot of unneeded functions

Newer 3rd gens already have sufficient relays/fuses in place so adding an extra fuseblock leads to quite a bit of redundant wiring and makes troubleshooting more difficult
