EFI conversion in progress
Got bored Saturday and decided I had enough pieces to start my EFI conversion. For those that don't know my rig, it is a 327 powered 1971 Toyota FJ-40.
Some months ago I bought the complete TBI system off of an 87 Chev 3/4 ton truck. I have slowly been getting it ready to install. The Intake has been tanked and blasted, The wire harness has been stripped of all wiring I don't need in the cruiser, and the trottle body has been rebuilt. I have 2 proms for the computer, one for 350 w/4 speed, and one for 350 w/auto.
Origonally I was going to use the cylinder heads I already had (would require slight intake manifold mod), but a set of TBI heads showed up on E-bay and I bought them.
So, I went and pressure washed the under hood at the local car wash, and then sarted pulling pieces. I am now down to the short block. I have to install a new camshaft, too, as the Performer cam I have now is not computer compatible.
If all goes well, (ha ha) I'll have it ready for Greenwater this weekend.
I am taking pix, but they aren't digital. I'll scan them for posting when I get them back.
