SoobGoob Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 were 87 gls carbed or FI? and could you put mpfi heads on a spfi block? would there be massive wiring or would it plug right into the spfi harness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daeron Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 massive, massive wiring for literally no power gain, no improvement anywhere. The flow through the cylinder heads is capable of about 100 hp NA, and maybe 130+ turbo'd, period. the engine just wasn't built for performance, and unfortunately it was built in a way that we cannot "get around" without an EJ Sorry to burst that bubble.

SoobGoob Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 oh dont worry you didnt burst anything. if it was a straight swap i would have done it for the hell of it. so you say a 87 4wd gl is SPFI not carbed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 87 was a tricky year, so I wanna clarify that *I* said nothing on that.. I know my 87 GL-10 was inherently fuel injected.. and the GL should be, to my mind.. but someone else already said it was so i would bet $20 that yes, they are all SPFI and not carbed. MAYBE an 87 DL could be carbed, but the GL should be SPFI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManYaiK Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 well, both my sisters have 87 GLs' and they are carbed. my 87 GL was SPFI(now has EJ22 goodness:grin:) sooooo its safe to say 87s can be either. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 yes they can be either. My GL was carbed. my friends was SPFI. Its possible the swap either happened in the middle of the year OR possibly the 49 state versions were carbed and the CA models were SPFI... not sure which but I am sure one of those 2 is the correct explination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobGoob Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 thats why i had to double check. i wasnt sure if they were one or the other or if it changed halfway through the year. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
