I was just wondering. Being that I have looked for days and gotten noware. Is it possible to convert an engine from carburetor to fuel injection. Also if it is at all possible what would I have to do. I.e. wireing harness, change the emu, I guess what I am asking is what would it entail to do the switch. Any info will help thanks. I should also mention the engine to be converted is a bran new crate engine not in a car but will be going in to a car the has a much smaller fuel injected engine in it to come out.

IMO - unless you are dealing with ancient cars this is totally impractical if not illegal. A total switch of engine size and carb to injection will be a nightmare if nothing else. Whole cars are designed for the exact engine they were made with even if you got it to run,

They make aftermarket kits to do that but they are quite involved and expensive. Fuel injection requires a computer to operate it along with all the related wiring and sensors and a different fuel supply system.

Ok first I know you are a mod here on this site. 2 if you don't know what you are talking about then you should not talk. I asked a question and your responce was that I must be dealing with an acient car your an idiot that has nothing to do with the question. And there is no law stateing you can't incress the size engine in you own car if you want to that is why car componies make models of the same car with 4 cyclinder 6 cyclinder 8 cyclinder. And if you did not know it there are cars out there with bigger I.e. a v12. And even a v16. So to tell me that it is illegal and that cars are only ment to have the engine size that is in them. States you have no clue to what you are talking about and yes I have read some of your other posts. Once again I say that if you don't know what to answer with than don't. Just becouse you are a mod does not mean that you need to comment on every post.

Hammer knows his stuff. Look at my location - Massachusetts - land of so damn many rules and regulations on everything and certainly motor vehicles.
If under 25 model years and you didn't say you would and could but need the state to certify that it's up to par. It's invasive and annoying. MA and CA run neck and neck with bull. CA is about to regulate what colors you can choose from but probably will lose that one. If the project you are working on has a pre-engineered kit it would really help with the project,
