zyewdall Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 What engine is the fuel injected one, and what is the carb for? I think the intake manifolds for the SPFI EA82, carbed EA82, and carbed EA81 are interchangeable, so you should be able to do it. Shouldn't be too hard to find a junkyard suby with the proper ECU though -- the SPFI EA82's do have a bit more power than the carbed ones, with the same gas mileage. EDIT: oh on the distributor, I think you will have to use the one from a carbed EA82. I'm pretty sure the SPFI had a different distributor as far as sensors and such???
