to inject or to carb??

ok im faced with dilemma

i got a HO 302 from 90' mustang, complete turn key motor. but i dont know rather to stay fuel injected or to switch the top end over to carburetor. i need help guys!!

which way should i go? whats more cost effective?

 

ing swap

if you have the injector rail and brain for the inj system they run grate

 

depends on your uses... everyday... i would suggest fuel injection because you dont die at stoplights LOL

i like carborated because i dont like that noise the injector gives off

 

Look here, it's easy,not cheap, but easy!

yeah i have been thinking about that.

this car is my daily driver, i take to work and school. maybe few out of town trips.

 

Interesting......

 

you dont here it???? its a worling sound

 

lol yea i know. i already got a c4, im working on what to do for suspension and ignition. its just so much and im so excited. i have been dreaming of v8 since i bought it in 2001. inline 6 is killin my need for speed.

 

I would run a carb because I don't know anything about fuel injection. If I knew about FI I would run it

 

There is the issue of the shock tower braces and power brake booster getting in the way... If you don't have/want power brakes and you can find a way around the brace problem, I say go injected just for the cool factor. To me, a well-tuned carb is just as reliable as injection though. Fewer potential points of failure, and easier to diagnose.

 

id recomend the fuel injection. it should give you beter performance, beter start ups, beter fuel economy. about the only adavantage to carbs is they way they mix the fuel and air is beter but they way its metered has compromises. you may want to consider using a megasquirt controler if you want to modify the motor down the road.

 

ok cool. im gettin alot of used parts from friends who race too, so im think the road im taking it the carb road. thanx guys!!

 

I spent alot of time deciding myself I wanted something differant with factory drivability and performance so I went F.I

 

i have been thinking about it for over a week now since my friend said i could have the motor. i got a spare c4, carb, and intake. i just need the other things, like dist, ignition, so on. I will see about changing the brakes over to power, i stop for nothing on my manuals and im having break problems anyways.

 

With the shock tower braces, couldn't a person just fabricate a brace out of bars to get around the fuel injection intake? I know that it wouldn't be as easy as it might sound, but I don't think that it would be all that hard either.
