88 13b into 85 GS

Correct me if im wrong, and most likely i will be..
To do the following swap
13b into a 85.
I need the following.
12a front cover
12a oil pan
13b


But, I want to carb the 13b, What all do i need for that? I dont want to use a nikki, id rather have a eaiser,nicer setup..
thanks

To have the 13b drop directly into the engine bay without any custom work, you will need the gsl-se oil pan and I do believe a 12a front cover is fine (if you plan on blocking the OMP and run premix). If you go on racingbeat.com, they have the kit that blocks the injector holes and allows you to run a carb. Also on that site, they have pretty good carb kits. Good luck!

If you want to maintain the stock MOP system, you must use the SE 13B front cover. Why would you think a 12A oil pan would fit a 13B?

You must use a GSL-SE oil pan, the 12a will not fit. For mounting you will either need a GSL-SE front crossmember or the mounting bracket from www.racingbeat.com.

There are many intake setups available for 13b's. Usually you need the following:

Carb
Intake
Filter
Linkage
Low pressure fuel pump
Fuel pressure regulator
Block off oil metering pump
Block off ACV if using factory lower intake manifold

There are many websites that sell complete kits. If you need more info try the search button.
