Quick Question About Fuel Injection/Carbs
I suppose it's best that I explain why I'm asking this so that the question is understood and answered as fully as possible. I may being being a 1976 Triumph TR6 in the next few weeks(I'm not in any rush, it's not going anywhere). It's basically nothing more than body panels, a chassis, suspension, and a bunch of garbage. The driveline, the interior and the top are ruined.
Since the engine is scrap, or so I'm told(I've yet to see the car), I intend to replace it. I'm thinking that a V8 is the route that I'll be going. This decision presents me with a problem.
The engines that I've been looking into are: a 3.5L Rover V8, a 3.4L Ford/Yamaha V8(yes it's used in FWD applications, but I've already sorted out how to mate it to a T-5) , a 4.6L Ford Modular V8, and a Ford 5.0L V8.
You may notice that all of the engines, excepting the 5.0L are all aluminum. I prefer that to the iron block for weight reasons. The issue is that the Rover V8 which is really the ideal engine for this is rather hard to come by in my neck of the woods.
The other two aluminum engines are fuel injected. I'd prefer carbs.
So, my question for those of you who have a better understanding of this than myself is: how, exactly, would I convert them from EFI to Carbs? (Please, explain this in as much detail as possible.) Would it be better to just track down the Rover or just deal with the miseries of trying to wire up EFI that to convert an EFI engine to carbs?
