I just took the 2 barrel manifold and carb that I was using on the old 350 and enlongated the 4 center bolt holes to work on the late heads and put the diesel kit in the trans to eliminate the computer so the overdrive would function.
The late engine came with throtle body injection computer controled along with computer controled ignition. I just wanted to eliminate problems, lose a chip or one of the parts in the system and you are parked and can't work on it without hooking it up to a computer to find out whats wrong. With a point ignition and regular carb I can fix almost anything that would go wrong with the tools that I carry.
Oh, I understand. I thought you were rebuilding the old 350, but you dropped a new engine in and retroed back to the carbs. Had me confused there a minute. Was wondering exactly who was installing fuel injection stock in 1965. LOL
And I agree with you on the ease of use of a regular carb engine. I could work reasonably well on my old '81 Mustang. But my '89 and '95 I usually have to take it to my mechanic with the computer equip with a lot of the problems. I'm having to deal with a new chip now. Can't get one to match right with the new system. We've gone through two different companies and have yet to find one that fits the exact setup of the new engine
