Title: 2.3L Head swap
Post by: Blue79Pinto on May 08, 2013, 06:19:06 PM

What can I swap a head out of?  I do want to keep it carbureted so can I use the original intake on a 2.3 EFI head? I know if an 87 mustang I can get a head out of.

Any single plug 2.3 head will bolt on.

But being a D port head do I need a different intake manifold?

use the efi lower and get a racer walsh adapter that will let you mount a carb to it. the efi lower does a better job with fuel distribution than the old na one anyways and you get a port match with the head.
