280i carburettor conversion

[hmj6854]

I have been unable to cure a cut-out problem in my 1984 280i FHC and feel it is within the fuel injection system. Has anyone converted a 2.8 to a carburettor system?

youll have to get a set of heads off i beilve a mustang II 2.8 and an offenhiser 4 bbl intake manifold. b/c the 280i has only 2 port heads adn i donno of anyone that makes intakes for those. and you could use a standard 390cfm holly on there. there was one on ebay a few months back. the guy had the heads, intake manifold, and headers. thats the other thign youll have to get headers and you might run into problems when it comes to fitting them to your stock exhaust. i thought of going this way, but i found a guy who used to do alot of work on these in teh 80s. so i took it to him and mine runs bueatiful now. wehre are you from, maybe if your in the new england area he can help you.
