Hi again, hope you guys having a nice weekend
Wonder why non of you have mentioned Holly carb? Like this kit http://www.thewedgeshopstore.com/tws-four-barrel-conversion-kit-rover-v8/
I also know there are several new "carburettor looking" EFI systems on the market, now I cant find one for Rover engines, but they look like this https://fitechefi.com/products/30021/
Then there are these guys as well https://www.classicfuelinjection.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=114_134&products_id=411&osCsid=9cvfc5h75pucsteksnbe5slt14 But to think my slug of an engine will produce 220 ponies is nothing but ridiculous...
Bowie69, I am not too sure about easy install, one mechanic I spoke to wanted about $3000 to install it... and I have heard its pretty hard from "home mechanics" too, dont I have to tap into the coolant system for the intake as well? Then things gets bit over my head And horse power sells engines, torque wins races is a saying my team used when I was still racing over in Europe, but I guess 20hp will gain torque as well
Fridgefreezer, that sounds pretty amazing, mine is rather the opposite, like 14 gallons per mile...
Quagmire, that sounds more like you driving a Prius to me...
garrycol, yeah thats what I got in a box, I think thats what I will do in combination with a high torque cam
V8 Freak, but those kits are expensive and then shipping and import tax its more then to drop a 3.9 in...
So yeah, when I or rather if I find a mechanic willing to do both conversions for a decent price enough , a new cam and EFI with the 14CUX ecu and hope I get it up enough to climb hills in a normal fashion, been thinking about losing some weight too, but point being to be a real overlander, truck is always ready to go with food, fresh water, full pullout outdoor kitchen, double bed, 270 degree foxwing awning, outdoor furniture, TV, fridge and freezer, outdoor LED camping strip lights, 225 amp hour batteries, fully mounted roof solar panels, so if I feel like going camping on way home from work, I just go, wont need to go home and pack or anything, just need some beers
Cheers guys, will keep you posted on upgrades
