Can a MPFI 2.8 be switched to a carb setup easily? I already have the complete fuel injected engine and a complete carb'ed engine. Would I just switch the intake and distributor?

 

i read somewhere that the heads need to screwed with to make the intake fit, i'm looking into this too.

too many problem with the computer

 

Ive been lookin through the Haynes manual and the heads seem to be the same. Kretos you have the exact same Camaro as I do,year, colors, and tranny, but I replaced the 2.8 with a 355

 

no, you shouldn't have to do anything with the heads. 5.8, are you talking about switching the v6 to a factory carb setup? if so, i wouldn't do it, the stock 2 bbl carbs on these motors were not good for power. if you're talking about putting the edlebrock 4 bbl setup on it, go for it, it's not too hard.

 

I have been trying to sell my 2.8. A guy wants it, but his is a carb'ed 2.8. He dosent have the MPFI wiring harness and neither do I, so I was thinking mabey he could just use his carb stuff.

 

And what about a fuel pump? Are the fuel injected 2.8's drilled for a mechanical pump?

 

i'm not sure if you could put a mechanical pump on it or not but you can run the stock electric one and put a regulator inline.

 

Thats what I did with my 355, but the guy that wants this v6 dosent have an intank electric pump. I know he could buy an electric pump to go in the engine compartment, but dont know how much money he wants to put into this.
