I didn't do the conversion a local 4X4 workshop did... The dude running it had no end of trouble with getting smooth power and reliability..

Cost a bundle for bugga all gain..

He ditched it and went Commo for less $$$

the y series came out in EFI as standard in some vechiles so that shouldn't be hard to sort out. EFI would be better as that means you can use a intercooler. if carby then suck through system would be easiest but you can't use intercooler. proper blow through carby's are not easy to find. only hassle is setting up the dissy.

sounds like a blow through setup. i'm rusty with the hollys but that sounds way to big and they are not good on a blow through setup.
