Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / January 2008'84 crossfire to carburation conversion
I have finally completed the total conversion. I enjoy the feel of the engine now and I can work on it myself. the hesitation problems have all been solved and it is running smoothly. The total cost was around $640 minus $250 for the parts I sold on ebay. Eldlebrock technical staff is just great. Art >I have finally completed the total conversion.

By the way if you want to get serious with horsepower you can do a lot more with a carb setup than you can with cross-fire. I would have done exactly the same or converted to a more modern fuel injection system. ----------- Elbert ask@me.com  Signature'Key ===== > On Sat, 26 Jan 2008 12:41:18 -0500, "Art" > <awb0846@bellsouth.net> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Good deal.... although no-one here really cares uhh ? you don't speak for me. I was very interested about his project. I done the same conversion... -- 'Key my comment "no-one really cares " was in reference to my land cruiser project...the 2nd line in my post goes on to say I"m working on something different. As you may recall I posted a number of times as an "advocate" of pursuing this swap from a crossfire to a carb or other modern fuel injection setup. I'm all for the carb swap. >> On Sat, 26 Jan 2008 12:41:18 -0500, "Art" >> <awb0846@bellsouth.net> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >I was very interested about his project. >I done the same conversion... ----------- Elbert ask@me.com > my comment "no-one really cares " was in reference to my > land cruiser [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > I'm all for the carb swap. whatever your meaning ? all I am saying is, I care about ,many post, except for the trolls... g'day Signature'Key ===== > I have finally completed the total conversion.

I just ripped a complete 5.7L L98 TPI V8 and 700R4 transmission out of a 1988 Camaro to stuff into a Toyota pickup - wiring and all. Total cost: $600. Summit Racing sells the brackets you need for the TV cable, if you haven't found one already. No need to fabricate. Adjustment is tricky. Don't burn up your transmission. |
