    Swaping In a B Series motor into a Carb'ed car?

    I was running over the carb to efi thread and saw the fuel tank difference. My main question is if I swap over to the B-series motor would I still need to either A :swap my fuel tank. or B:modify it so it can take a different fuel pump? Sorry if this is a noob type of question or if it has been asked (But I did search first lol). Main reason I ask is I just read that innovatives now makes the mounts again so the thought popped into my head and I thought I should ask.


    Thanks for all the help

    You would need EFI fuel lines/tank or you could run the B-series carbed

    The fuel tank is the least of your worries when doing such a swap

    haha well this is true, But the main thing I was worried about was the mounts but those are back . But it would suck to get everything in then not be able to get fuel lol.

    Hmmmm rocking a B with a carb on it. Well that might be a Idea, but before that I need to get the Engine bar'd since it is really not that hard. gah, well maybe I'll just drop the tank and see what needs to be modified
