carb on a 3.1L
I was wandering if anyone has tried machining the top out of the intake manifold and putting a carb on it. it seems like it would work, but i don't know. I was thinking you could just unplug all the injectors and re-route the the fuel line to the carb. the only thing it should do wrong is possibly just throw a ckeck engine light. will that alter the ignition curve? any suggestions?

Re: carb on a 3.1L
82-85 is just the carbed version of the 2.8, those years all the 2.8s came stock with a carb set up. getting one of those out of an s10 would be pretty easy. I would suggest a vacuum advance distributer to go with it. you can get those off of a carb 2.8 also. basically just get a carbed stock top end from a camaro or s10.

if you have a 700r4 with a lock up converter you may need this

Re: carb on a 3.1L
yes it will. but its not as easy as just hooking it up and going...there are other things you need to do/change to get it to work right. Ive not really looked into the carb swap so I don't know much about it...do a search, there are a couple semi-recent threads about this.
Maybe more people will chime in and help you out.

Re: carb on a 3.1L
ok kool. about the lockup kit. i have the stock trans. in my car and i have a TCI 3200 stall converter. it looks like that kit has a wiring harness. i thought that GM didn't start the electronic hook-ups until 93'? I think the only one mine has is the reverse light switch. idk. and do ya'll think that if i leave the ecu in there to control the ignition, that the (possible) trouble codes will affect the ign. timing?

Re: carb on a 3.1L
Quick question, if you swap the 3.1 along with the matching transmission would you still have to buy the lock up kit?

Re: carb on a 3.1L
This is a really old thread. Are you going to be using a carb or fuel injection? If fuel injection both 2.8's and 3.1's with mpfi have a 700r4 and you do not need any lock up kit if it's carb'd then you would need the lock up kit for the 700r4.

Re: carb on a 3.1L
Thnx for the answer! didn't think i would get a response. I'm gonna stick with the stock carb for the time being. my car came stock with a 700r4, I had heard that the early 700r4s' had alot of problems that would later be resolved in the newer models and thought i could upgrade instead of rebuilding the old one. didn't know if i had to get the lock-up kit 4 it.
