If I run the Edelbrock Victor Jr. I'll be running either a 4V carb converted into a tb or if I can afford it I'll buy an aftermarket 4V throttlebody. So I won't need any adapter and it'll look like I'm running a carb. Or hell I might even just conver the engine to a 4V carb just to simplify it.

I plan to raise the compression, swap the cam, port the heads, change the intake and add headers. So tuning will be required. If I run EFI I'm going to get the SDS EFI computer so I can do all the tuning.

If you convert to carb, be prepared to be amazed at the lack of gettup and go.

You EFI jerks will never learn, will you?

yea carbs rock...i could have a 460 with a C6 out of a MARK V, but no money for that shit

[88MercWagon]

EFI is much smoother, and better for a daily driver, but there's something about a carb'ed engine that an EFI one lacks

[Grand Marquis GT]

I love the choppy, carb sound...

Even when my car was CFI, it had that sound...

[88MercWagon]

I guess it's kind of how you have to feel a car out and mess with it with a carb...EFI is just punch it and go. Carb has more involvement

P.S. in the words of my father "CFI is just a glorified carb"

[Grand Marquis GT]

Since GMGT is like an extension of my body, I prefer my carb.

I can tweak it, and like every other part of GMGT, I know it like the back of my hand.

Once it's warmed up, it gets up pretty well.

The whole "Warming-up" thing with the carb forms a good habit to get into, warming up the car for 5 mins before driving...

[Roach III]

Wasn't CFI Ford's revenge for the Edsel fiasco?

[Grand Marquis GT]

It was a terrible excuse for throttle body injection, and a bunch of unneeded shit elsewhere.

Poorly engineered. I am guessing the guy who invented CFI has prob shot himself long ago...

EFI Sucks

CFI aint worth a damn

You can reply with the "it just doesn't feel the same" or the "I'd rather fight every day to get it to run perfect" or the "The sound of an engine not running quite right" but you can't say that EFI sucks, when you get....

Smoother running,
Higher peak HP,
High peak torque,
Better HP curve,
Better torque curve,
More reliability,
More readiness,
And the ever perfect balance of fuel and air.

I suppose you like catylitic converters, too?

[Mercmarquis]

Fuel injection has no character, I think.

In order for it to work in higher hp applications you must invest tons of $$$ into it.

With the new carbs these days they dont require much tuning to get it run good.

When something goes wrong you have less things to look for(ie sensors, wires, fusible links, relays ect...) and it is easier to fix

Everything said about carbs not being reliable, hard to tune, runs like hell and shit isnt really true anymore. Its mostly myth put out by some dumbass that probably had the wrong setup on his car and didnt know how to correctly tune one.

Carbs sound awesome too :nana2:
