2.8 camaro manifold?

mikeftw · 10-27-2009, 10:01 AM

Ok I've been wanting to do a way with the tbi unit on my 91 s10. I've been wonder if I use the camaros harness it complete manifold and it distubuter and etc will it work? I've been lookin at the to motors and I believe it can be done. Just want to see if Anyone has already done it

I don't understand what you are trying to ask.

You wanna get rid of the TBI but trying to go to a carb? If so the older s-10s had carbs on them so just use those parts.

Or are you trying to go to the FI off a newer camaro. If so don't waste your time cause its not really any better than the TBI on there now.

the late 80's camaros that came with the 2.8 v6 is furl injected. here is a pic of the set up im just wondering if anyone has done it on the s10. im pretty sure it can be done. im just wanting to see if anyone has done it

Yes, that intake and related parts have been installed in an S-10.

I have that setup in my s10. You'll have to keep your existing wiring harness and splice in all the connectors from the camaro's harness to make it work.

Did ya buy anything yet?

I got and upper n lower that I don't need, they have been cleaned up to a semi show condition. Mold casting marks have been filed down and powdercoated mirror black. [Color could be changed. Spray can of aircraft remover from AZ]

Its also the one without the 2.8 center badge, which most want, cleaner look. Just ribbed.

Id get a 7730 over a 7302 ECM for the swap.

google search "7302 to 7730 ECM"

Opps I mean I got an upper and a middle intake 2 sell.
There is 3, upper, middle n lower/base.

dose this mod really do much? i mean i realise that if you make a motor draw more air you can make more power but is it worth it?

it converts to mass air correct? would i have trouble smoging with this set up? do i need a seperate vacume pump?
