cool. as with anything else, if all the pieces to the combo are right(fuel system,carb, air bonnet) it will haul azz. you won't loose a thing compared to f.i. . there's been a lot of power made in the last couple years blowing through carbs with great driveability. anyone who thinks the 86/87 drive trains "HAVE" to have fuel injection to run are due for a wake up call. if you think you want to give it a go and need a little help shoot me an e-mail. i might be able to help you some.
