Hey guys/gals. I have been experimenting with my 22r trying to increase power and possibly gain MPG. As of right now I am running a TryY header, mild cam, and everything else is factory including Carb.

I have ran webers, aisins, and hollers on my 22R engines. However I have never ran a ford motor craft. I have a really nice 2brl off a 84 ford 2.8 v6 engine. I'm wanting to swap it to my 22R.

Has anyone done this? Is anyone interested in this? If I made a adapter would anyone be interested in buying and trying one?

As of right now I'm in the process of making a adapter to bolt this to my factory intake. I will get some pictures in a few to post. In the meantime all input is appreciated.

 

Okay well I got started on this earlier and I'm finished with it. I do not know if it will work as I've never done this. I can build anything but making it work is different.

First step was I used the aisin mounting gasket as a template then I traced it into a peice of 1/2" steel.

Second step was to do the same only using the motor craft mounting gasket.

I then combined them together using 1/8" steel tubing.

This is what I have. Only tools I used was grinder, welder, plasma cutter, and drill. Completely finished In less then 2 hours.

I just painted it so I have not installed it to see if it works. That may come another day idk yet.

 

Well it works guys. It has a major throttle response now. Here's a couple vids

 

 

Well I drove it today for the first time with the ford carb and it does great. No flooding out, spitting or anything. Although I did notice something really strange. My carb and intake spacer is freezing up. It never hurt anything or caused any problems but it sure does look strange. Here's a pic

All that white is ice. It's not cold out either so I'm kinda unsure why its doing it.

Anyone got any ideas

 

 

Man i wanna do this! Was there any troubles or did you make the adapter and it dropped right in and ran good? Ive got a 22re but ive been itchin to switch to carb.

 

I made my adapter then bolted it all up. It works great.

 

The reason your adapter is icing up is because the stock rubber insulator prevents the adapter from getting heat from the engine. This combined with air moving through it a a very high speed is causing the humidity in the air to freeze to it lol. Its frozen condensation like a cold beer bottle on a hot day.

 

Oh I c said the blind man lol...

I'd take 200.00 for the carb and adapter shipped anywhere in the us

 

pretty nice. My stock Aisin has some dead spots in it, that adjusting the timing and messing with the air/fuel mixture just won't fix.

 

yeah one of my friends is running this set up it is pretty responsive

 

Yeah it's pretty spunky. A friend of mine swapped out his EFI for this setup and loves it.

 

you climbed any hills with the set up yett ?

 

Yeah it's seems fine. It hasn't sputtered or flooded out and I've had it on pretty steep banks. As I said I'm highly satisfied.

 

have you done away with all the vacuum lines and such and cut it down to a bare minimum ? if so I might have to buy this sweet setup

 

Yes... I eliminated everything except vacuum advance. However I've already sold the carb and adapter

 

well alrigth thanks any wayman and thanks for all the good info !

 

No problem man. Thanks for the interest
