Anyone know if it would be possible to fabricate a manifold (aluminum sheetmetal) and carburate a 4.6 or 5.4? I could build a manifold, but I don't know anything about their ignition system.

 

Given enough money, skill, and time, anything is possible. But carb'ing a fuelie would be like putting a propeller on the space shuttle. One just has to ask "WHY"?

 

Many people run carbs on previously fuel injected motors to avoid the hassles of wire harnesses and computers. Also, a carbed motor may not be quite as easy starting or get as good mileage as a fuel injected, But a carb WILL give you a lot more low buck raw horsepower. There are many last generation 5.0 Mustangs at the drags who run carbs. (Of course it was much easier for them) That wasn't the point though. I wanted to know if it had been done, if/and what would it take.

 

indeed it has been done. i seen it done on the v-10. it was used to power a generator i think. i tried to find it on google(where i found it originaly), but im not seein' it. ill post it when i come across it though.

How would the motor be timed? since all the mod motors are Distributorless, how would that work? You would still need a cpu for the timing right?? Does anyone have any ideas on that?
