Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I Have a set of standard stomberg carbs on an 86 3.5l rangie, i'm sick to death of the carbs giving me hassles, was told that the holly carb is a better option, if this is the case, what should i be looking for, 2 barrel , 4 barrel etc. and about what should i be paying for them.

nope no holleys you will have flooding issues on slopes.

Michael.

if not holley, what is my best option as i've had a guts full of constant problems with these carbs

Holley's are OK with a couple of minor mods, namely a 350 with a vent tube extension and mounted back to front works fine.

whats involved in going EFI

running petrol or lpg or dual fuel?

just running petrol 96 octane, i can get aEFI of a 3.9 disco, just would like to know whats i'm getting into before i give it a go

If you cannot get Strombergs to run correctly, then I doubt that you will be able to install injection.
Strombergs are about the simplest trouble free thing there is. There are let me see about 3 or 4 moving parts.
I suggest that you perhaps have them overhauled by someone who knows them and they will go for years without adjustment.

It will cost quite a lot to install injection. I have done it with Federal Injection on a 77 but the gains were virtually nil on a stock 3.5. and it is a LOT of work.
You have to either use an injection tank or make up a swirl tank,all the fuel lines need to be replaced with high pressure lines which is very expensive, you need to organise and buy a pump, filter etc and work out somewhere to put them.
The actual placing of the injection on the engine is plug and play, except you should grind a notch in the top of the ports for injector spray clearance.
If you get injection, try to get the manifold, loom, ECU, fuel lines , tank(with pump) etc. If it is only a manifold or bits are missing give it a miss.
Its the bits and pieces that will nickle and dime you to death.
