Changing over from injection too carburator

(1/2) > >>

Pat Johnson:
I have been recently forced with a decision to make , I've had to buy my racing partner out, the question i have is , I run a small block 406 ci Dart Little M motor with Dart 215 platinum iron eagle heads 208 and 160 ,with a edelbrock tunnel ram with a enderlee bug catcher on alcohol, the motor has only a few start ups too seat the rings and one burnout on it, it's basically a new piece .Now  since I have no longer a crew too help out, is it possible for me too change the top half of the motor as far as putting a carb set up on this without having too pull the whole motor apart changing the pistons and rings,without hurting what's already in place, I know that I will have too install a radiator and remove the 80a pump, is this a possible task  with out doing any risk too this 15k motor, I just want to go racing and have fun, but be competitive of somewhat ,or just start over with a different set up so I can do this by myself. Thanks for the help.

Pat Why don't you just put a primer on your car and keep the injection ? Ron's fuel injection makes a nice primer system so you can start your car on gasoline . I have one on my car and it works great !

Not saying you CAN'T, but you should not try and run the car by yourself. only asking for trouble.
you cannot get your belts tight enough by yourself
If stuck in the lanes all belted in for any length of time, tire pressure can change
somebody you trust must give the car a final look before going in

most of the time I raced by my self becaused I travelled alot, it's doable but help is nice and i agree install a primer best of luck

I agree with primer suggestions/That said.You can just bolt a intake  and crapurator on and go run.Guess my opion of carb ?
While you can run car by yourself ,it would be lot better to have one crew guy or gal help out .

FED with cab is almost like dating your sister,just not right.IMO
