I'm pretty sure someone installed a Chevy tbfi on his b2. Don't remember who off hand.
Yeah, Chevy TBI swap used to be a thing. There's actually a writeup for it in the tech library.
2.8L Chevy TBI Swap on to Ford 2.8
I'd forgotten about it but there was a Ford based swap as well.
Fuel Injection For Your 2.8L Ford Ranger
They were great options back in the day, probably still valid if you can source the parts easily and cheaply. I think I would have to spend the extra money and go to the aftermarket options that
@Hale Ranger was asking about.
Personally I'd have to go Holley Sniper again. I don't think I'd consider the Duces Wild for anything. It's probably functional, but not as well documented and supported as the Holley systems. I've got the Sniper 4bbl on my F-100 and it works well. I just need to get my lazy behind in gear on getting the rest of the truck sorted and the system tuned.
Your biggest problem might avtually be the Duraspark conversion. I recall a thread not long ago about not being able to source Duraspark Distributors for this engine. I seem to recall that the poster ended up ordering one from Europe where this engine still has a bigger following. If I were able to find a usable distributor, I think I'd have to go with the GM HEI ignition module rather than Duraspark, as they seem more reliable these days from what I've read.
I think another suggestion in that thread may have been to convert a points type with a pertronix system. Hell, I might have even been the one that said that.
I haven't messed with a 2.8L in a long time, but have one I'd like to put back on the road someday, so I try to catch up on them occassionally. Unfortunately I'd be hard pressed to make a EFI system work on mine. Dad put a Offy 4bbl intake on it back in the 80s and I'm not willing to swap back to a stock 2bbl intake. Also don't want to run a 2bbl TBI with adapter, and all the 4bbl stuff is probably way too large. Offy did make a 2bbl
upper half for my intake back in the 80s, but good luck finding one. Since the truck became mine in 2000, I've seen exactly one for sale and, unfortunately, had no interest at the time. In hindsight I'd likely have paid what ever they were asking and thrown it on the shelf.
