you will probably have to change heads and all, i know theres a difference between iron head 2.8s and aluminum head 2.8s and 3.1s and i know you cant put a distributer/carb intake on a fi/dis motor.... im not 100% sure on all this, but im sure someone will chime in soon who knows more then me

btw, wheres the pics of the 47 chevy?!?!

Thanks, think my engine has the iron heads, have to check on that, can't seem to put pictures on this site, send me an E-mail address and I will send them to it. STEVE

Its a RWD engine, therefore it has iron heads. There are aftermarket manifolds out there (Edelbrock comes to mind) that bolt up to the iron heads. This would allow you to run a distributor and carb, therefore basically eliminating all wiring to the engine, with the exception of wiring for sensors/gauges. Is that what you are basically trying to do?

Yes Brad, thats what I want to do, a few guys tell me it can be done, eighter way, then a few say its will coast more to have a new harness built, I am between a rock and a hard place on this right now! I do know if I went to a stock manifold (2.8, 1985,) the darn 2 barrel carb will cost about $5oo.
