5.0 carb

[86gtriceeater]

Doing a 4 cylinder swap to a 5.0. Wanting to go with carb instead of fuel injected. Buying a weiland intake. Can I use any type of carb with it?

just make sure for example you have a square bore carb for a square bore intake or spread bore for spread bore...you can even buy an adapter to adapt one to the other

thanks. So it can be for any make or model? and do I want a 2 barrel or 4 barrel?

I don't mean this offensively, but it seems you don't know too much about carbs, and while it's not complicated to learn, you may want to get a little more knowledge under your belt before doing a conversion. any particular reason your going carb?

Many of my friends had suggested it. They said with the swap it will be easier and I will get more power.

Not as much more power, but simplicity. There's a lot of good info on here about carb set-ups and you may do a google search on how carbs work and you'll start to figure out which set-up is best for you. Good luck

for the intake, if youre getting a weiand, get a 8020

you can get others besides weiand if you want also

i know its an intake........but do the port matter? i know what the difference is between a 4 barrel and 2 barrell carb, but does it matter about the pports on the intake? or is it a +/- cfm's on the intake...

A 5.0 swap is so easy and reliable with fuel inj. I thought about a carb for about 3 nano seconds after I decided not to do an SVO motor. Glad I didnt do it. I recommend not doing the carb and really reading up on the swap.

im glad i stayed fuel injected to,but a carb is cool is as well...........sometimes simplicity is worth more than anything.
