I was wondering what it would be like to run a "old school" fuel setup in my FC? I dunno what size carb, or company, just wondering how difficult it would be to run a carb on a regularly fuel injected engine.



What I want to do is run a full bridgeported motor, but the problem is I only 6 port BP'ed motors done by ITO. Is there any way to run a 4 port Bridgeported motor. Is there some crazy combination of housings, plates, and rotors I can use?? I know I will need upgraded clutch, flywheel.



Or after all that would it just be easier to get a piggyback ECU to control the fuel and air maps, and ignition?? Just curious



Thanks

Run turbo housings if you want a 4 port bridge. Look to RB for Holley setups for the carb.

Racing Beat has a Carburetor for a 13b Bridgeported engine, but it is under the 71-85 categories. I thought about it and all 13b's made are all the same right?? They also have an intake manifold specifically for that carburetor too. Just wondering if all 13b N/A housings are the same??
