351w roller efi to carb swap distributor help
#16
The one piece stuff leaks too. Bolts work loose over time and need to be tightened ever so often. The one piece rear seal leaks too over time. Nothing's perfect. The F4TE cam though is a really good cam, despite what you've been told. Specs with 1.7's are .445/.473 lift, 256/266* advertised duration, 116* LSA Really comparable to an "RV" style cam. Works great with a carb too. generates a lot of vacuum that lets the circuits respond faster. That motor I built would fire up in 25* temps with no choke and no pump shot with the gas pedal. All you had to do was crank it a few seconds and it would fire off and idle just like it had EFI
But I did figure on widening and blending the intake and exhaust to match the gaskets as well as doing the intake the same way. Headers I cant do it to too much since they are steel. Plus I think headman headers come with a life time warranty which would be voided if I go grinding on them.
