    Default convert vk efi to carby

    hi everyone, i am currently in the middle of fitting a carby/inlet manifold (from a vh) to my vk 202 which did have efi, from looking at the extractors that are fitted it does not look like the inlet manifold will fit. I am wondering if there is any way to make the manifold fit? or weather you can buy extractors to suite a vh 202 carby motor?

    I've had this problem.

    Except it was because I was given EFI Extractors.

    THe intake manifold for a Carby will not fit when you fit the EFi extractors, Either get a custom made manifold, get an engineeer to make you one or get new extractors taht are made for a your engine. Just remember 202 Blue/Red extractors are different from 202 Black extractors

    I'm curious as to why you'd want to convert to a carby? They're not as fuel efficient or powerful. If you were going to replace the varajet carby with maybe a 350 holley or a weber 32/36 you might be able to get EFI performance. but still, why?

    I did the conversion, my reasoning, the efi ran like a bag of shit and looked like absolute crap. Bye bye efi hello 350 holley and a completely smoothed engine bay with hidden wiring, best thing I ever did with the VK, well besides buying it in the first place!
