I recently found a company that offers kits to retrofit older gasoline engines, such as the 350, with a computer-controlled throttle-body EFI system at a fairly reasonable price. I'm tempted to buy one and try it on an old grain truck we use. I realize it would be cheaper to just clean the carberater, but I think it could be fun to see what the EFI kit could do with an old engine.
The Chevy 350 throttle-body EFI sytem from the mid nineties always worked well, and the EFI system is simple enough. This kit contains mostly Chevy parts from that system, with a custom ECU. This kit is also fairly simple. Replace the carb with the throttle body EFI kit, replace the vacuum advance distributor with an electronic one, add a couple of sensors, add a high pressure fuel pump, and hook it all up. The truck we have currently runs just fine, but it's a bit hard to start (dirty carb I'm sure) and always runs rich and stinky, which I'm sure the EFI kit would help with. Never having to adjust or clean the carb and it's needles would be nice.
Just wondering if anyone has seen this sort of thing before, and maybe tried it.
Anyone every tried a retrofit EFI kit for older gasoline engine
