I recently purchased a 95GT track car with a dead 418ci engine and a'm considering my options. This engine combo was running the Edelbrock Victor EFI system and upon inspection of broken pistons and spark plugs it appears there was erratic rich / lean condition. Broken piston tops appear to be caused by detonation. Good 1- 4 pistons are not broken but show same rich / lean condition.
So I'm considering putting in a 363 short deck motor and since I have zero experience with efi I'm wondering what is involved from the wiring harness side to go with a carb ? Does the ECU need to be eliminated ? Do I need to rewire or what ? Any info on this change will be appreciated.
If I stay with efi, I might opt for the Trickflow efi intake system and then attempt to get it running with that. I'm older than dirt and a'm pretty intimidated with efi's and all the settings, parameters, etc.
What are your thoughts ?
Thanks
Mike
