I would argue that fuel injection is actually simpler than carburetion. That's just based on my personal experiences between the two. FWIW

Sometimes simpler is better. Mine also has a carb and I like it.

Where'd ya get that front bumper?

I built my bumper at work I'm thinking of giving it to my dad for his Jeep and get rid of the boxy one that's someone put on his and I wanna build a new one with winch mount

for once i'll agree with you. Holley even makes a self learning stand alone fuel injection setup now too. can't get much easier than that, just plug it in hit a couple of buttons and it tunes itself to your engine.

I can see how that would be a good thing. But the price difference is a killer for lots of people. $1000+ vs $300+ makes one seriously weigh the benefits vs cost of it. If I had the budget for it, I would go for it on mine. But I don't, so the carb stays. I don't do a lot of wheeling (mine's mostly a DD) but if the carb becomes an issue off road, I'll take a serious look at saving for one of those.

My Jeep is faster than yours.

On a decent size hill its not.

And, do not forget the upside down grille!

Already did that mod

Short video i had of that xj350 sound that you just cant get live with out

 

[derrickdrew17]

did you get the factory dash to work with the swap? or did you have to make your own dash panel gauges?

 

[Xjpride]

Still in the process of making my own dash using intellronix 5 guage digital panel

 

[Ewenm]

love the idea of the V8, and we can do it here in Australia but has to have equal or better emissions than the original so NO carbies EFI only

 

[Xjpride]

Yea i plan to buy a mega squirt efi kit for it soon still working out some small kinks before i get that

 

[John D]

Lots of people make carbs work for offroad, you just need to do the right stuff.

Personally, I prefer EFI and wouldn't consider a carburetor set-up.

Have someone else record your exhaust sound, it should come out a lot better.

I'm thinking about a dual-fuel setup to run propane in the woods ... http://www.gotpropane.com/p539.html

Throttle body and computer off any 90's chebby pickup in the JY. Dirt-cheap FI. It ain't pretty, but it works.

Well its been awhile since ive posted any updates on the jeep ive finally remembered my password to get back on here.

got rid of the thornbirds and picked up some 34s superswampers for a steal of a deal


Also got my digital gauges done turned out real nice i think
