i am sick of the efi on my bronco
I have a 1994 bronco 5.8 efi (e4od which is ecm controlled)
I wanna put a carb on it (dont slap me) i could at least tune it ...seems i have no tuning options, and all the trappings of efi (hoses wires and crap all over the place) no obd-II tuneability, cant upgrade cam , no really practical way to get rid of speed density... i keep seeing a edelbrock performer intake/carb/cam/heads package ,pertronix ignitor ignition....and just go knucledragger on it .... would be so easy .... it already has crappy fuel mileage what could it hurt..... any ideas would be great!!!!!!!!!

if the carb is tuned right it will get the same or better mpg

the only way you would be able to carb it is to put manual trans or non computer controlled in it

I say sell the bronco and buy you something comparable that should get better gas mileage and have less issues.

nope ...... gas mileage is not the biggest issue its a 6400lb truck i expect that
also i have found that i will have to get a standalone trans controller that kinda messes that idea up 400$
