In doing a 350 engine swap, with everything understood, is it easier not more less costly, to go with a carb setup or an efi setup on a 350 shortblock 4 bolt main. If any of you know someone who has done this please list username. THank you


If any of you are wondering, I recently blew my motor and I am doing this for fun only not to disgrace rotory engines. (or infuriate the rotary gods)

 

eh, just go carbed... less hassles/worries. Less points of failure (like PD :roleyes: ).

 

I suggest you relocate to

Lots of good info there. This swap is well documented, and relatively easy.
The majority of people on this site are intolerant of the v8 swap. You will get the $hit stirred with no real help.
To answer your question, the carb is easier, but not smog legal, if the engine came with injection. Also, the engine must be from a vehicle that is not older than the car it is going into.
The laws covering this are Federal, but enforcement varies with the state you live in.

 

I know what your saying crossbar. I got a blown rotary in my 1st gen and instead of getting another rotary, which I don't have the money for, I'm just gonna throw a chevy 350 that I have in the shop in there for fun and because I'm broke.

 

im prolly going to do a V8 rx7 this summer too, im going carb, i think u posted this in the wrong section lol:P

 

off to other engine conversions

 

I think thread was created before Other Engine Conversions was. I wonder if the car was ever built?
