So, if you had two 3g's, side by side, one carb'd, one f-i, how hard would it be to take the Fuel injection stuff out and put it in the carb'd one, and vice versa?
My guess is that not many people have taken a fuel injected accord and converted it to carb'd, that's crazy, but i was just wondering.

Personally, I wouldn't take the time to switch to carb....waste of time in my opinion. You could do it, it would take some time though.

i understand, performance-wise, that its not worth it to downgrade. Its more of a 'could it be done?' thing. And i'm sure it'd be tough. Sounds tough, at least...

:nuts: I have. Yes I am crazy. We took a functioning A20A3 out of my 88 Lxi, rebuilt it, and put an A20A1 head and intake manifold with a weber downdraft on it and tossed all of the EFI equipment. I guess it helps that the engine went into a carbed body anyway.
