anyone look at the new gm tbi onto ford 2.8 article yet?
I came up with the idea to stick a gm 2.8l tbi system onto my buddy's (RICO9) carbed 2.8l broncoII.
so we went to the j/y, pulled the parts and did it.
it made it into the tech articles
http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/2_8-chevy-tbi-swap.shtml
he has been driving if for months now, even wheeled it once or twice, all seems to be well, the wiring in the pictures isn't super clean but it was a pretty awesome way to get fuel injection onto a 2.8L, unlike the ford tbi swap it doesn't require changing in tank sending unit, or running new fuel lines or anything. It also works with a duraspark distributor, it also doesn't need jury-rigging of the iac valve
another buddy and i have already gone and pulled the parts for his swap.
but tragedy has struck his family, and he likely won't finish his swap for a while
just thought i would put it out there
To be clear
If i worded this wrong, to give the wrong idea. I am sorry
we just used the TBI injection system from a gm 2.8, we did not swap any engines
the engine we mocked it up on, in the pics was just a spare 2.8l ford.
