Hanns Per Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 does anyone have experience with this? I have a 2.5 block with crank conrod and pistons 1:12 compression sitting in the garage and would like to make a carb version out of it. What cams? is there a possibility to drive a distributor for the ignition ets.? thks Hanns Per PS: or is this a stupid idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Raceline does a manifold to suits DCOE carbs, you can use whatever cam you want and ign need to be 3D but apart from the TPS everything is already on the engine. For track use there won't be too much difference with a fuel injected engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Forgot to say that you will need plugs where once the injectors where or just leave them in place. 20 years ago there would be plenty of advice on non original modifications but these day's are long gone afraid.

garybee Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Haven't done it on a Duratec myself but have on other engines. Injector blanks are easy to make on a lathe, I've made quite a few of these for Duratecs. Just a small 'top hat' piece of aluminium with a groove for an O-ring. For the ignition it's way easier than finding ways to drive a dizzy. Do a quick google for Megajolt. Other alternatives are available but this works fine and is very well priced. You can use it to drive your current ignition components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
