carb or fuel injected?

Question

i have a 1971 dodge demon that has a carburator and i was wondering is carb or fuel injected better? also how much work would it be to change a carb to fuel injected

i may end up buying a crate engine that has mpi fuel injection so if i did would i have to buy the computers or does it come with it

Answer 1

You will have to change the fuel tank and add a return line to your fuel system,...you will have to change the intake manifold and buy an aftermarket fuel injection system around $2500.00
bucks and you will still have a stock demon with a (I assume)
340 cid....you can take all that money and build a sweet motor that will run strong on the street and still get good mileage and put new headers and exhaust system with intake and carburation with cam and lifters and have enough left over for a nice stereo....good luck enjoy your car.

Answer 2

Fuel injected is much better. Although it would be more work than its worth!!! Fuel injection is all computer monitored whereas the carb will just have an open shut mechanism with your acclerator cable. To change it you would have to get new computers injectors( manage to make them work with your engine) etc. your better off changing the engine!

Answer 3

Fuel injection will be expensive to have installed. It will be much cheaper to have a carburetor on it. Go with a suitable 4 barrel. You can get them that will handle all the engine will take.

good luck.

Answer 4

fuel injection gets better mpg, more horsepower and runs cooler than a carbed vehicle. Should you change over? no, way too expensive.
