My van has a 351w w/carburator. It is an automatic, two wheel drive and I would like to know if I could swap out my carburatored engine for a fuel injected engine? How much trouble would it be to switch out and how much electrical work would it need? I know how to swap engines, but I am not to familiar with the injector set up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, you gentleman have always been very helpful to me.
Thank You
Mark

The only way something like that would be possible is if you found an aftermarket conversion kit. There are a few companies that make these, but you will have to see if one is made for your vehicle and your engine. This would be a computer controlled system that would require and entirely different wiring harness and likely exhaust modifications to accommodate oxygen sensors.
