I've got a 1986 bronco with a 2.9 engine, I'd like to convert from a fuel injection system to a Carburetor. Anybody have any advice?
Like what parts I need for this, Manifold - Carb and such.
I've searched the web and found nothing of use. TIA

You have found nothing of use, because that is a really silly thing to do. Carburetors are inferior to Electronic Port Fuel Injection in every respect. EFI eliminates altitude air fuel mixture problems, float bowl angle issues, is smother, cleaner and more efficient.
What would ever inspire someone to spend time and money to give such a performance and reliability hit to there vehicle?

Having two vehicles and making one :)
I have a nice bronco with a carb and shot case; and a beat up one with fuel inj working engine. really would like to get the nice one working..
I have found a web page that talks of the conversion but keep getting a 404 error (page isn't there).
Any help??

why
for God's sake......WHY ?????????????????????
the carbed 2.9's were useless; whereas even the first year of the FI, the
86, was a great engine.......although the ECM wouldn't adapt more than 8000 ft in altitude (ask me about Monarch Pass on US-50 in Colorado)
Yes, having adapted two Fords, a truck and a full sized Bronco from Carburetors to Port Fuel Injection, I suggest you put the whole fuel injected engine, computer and wiring harness into the carbureted Bronco...
It is not that complicated, and you will be very happy with the results.
If you have the wir>

Why not drop the FI engine into the carb Bronco? That would be a much better result.

Thanks for the input, I'll take a hint and not go to a carb :)
