adapter to go from fuleinjected to carb


If you are going to use it for your daily driver don't use the fi intake with the adaptor, driveability will suck from off idle to about 3000-3500 rpms (it really sucks when the weather is cold) because the intake doesn't get hardly any heat, plus the long runners will move the power band of the engine up to the higher rpm range (been there, done that, got the t-shirt). Go to ebay and type in omc in the search (or take a trip to your local boat repair shop), omc makes a cast iron d-port intake for the 2.3s used in boats, it has really short intake runners, and heats the intake thus improving driveability in the lower rpm range in which you will probably be driving in, and it really helps driveability in cold weather.
Here is omc "boat" intake setup on my 88 with a slightly modified holley/weber to holley 2 bbl adaptor plate, with a 350 holley on it.

so will that make good RPM's they say that you can put a fuleinjetor intake and 350 holley , they say it will turn good R's all day long on a stock motor,,,, do they make a 2.3 ford for boats?
 
The topic here was about a pony stock motor. The EFI intake will out perform that iron manifold and is much lighter. The EFI intake does have a heat passage for cold weather but, you would block it off for racing.
My d-port motor has no choke, no coolant in the intake yet runs fine in cool weather (it will never see snow). It has excellent throttle response, a blip of the throttle will kick the back end out. My car is still in the works but, I will have new pics soon.
