Not sure I can agree with that Grant! After working on a few of the "technologically superior, modern engines" I can't (other than for emmision purposes) figure out why the just can't stay with the o
I'm partial to the original iron too, but I can at least understand why someone might prefer modern mechanicals, if only to be sure of being able to get parts on a road trip. The point of my comment
Ah Jim, You're thinking somewhat along the same lines as myself for EFI on a 235, but inorder to go with individual injectors (whether 3 or 6) would require equal length and diameter tubes for consis
I don't get it. If you want to go modern, why not go all the way? Isn't putting EFI or HEI on a 235 like adding an ISDN modem to an Apple II computer? Don't you just end up with something which is ne
Let me try to explain..... Do you still run bias ply tires? Do you still use non-detergent oil? If I had a direct bolt on replacement paper type air filter, would you still use the oil bath one? EFI
Hi Mike, Actually, yes, I do have bias ply tires, and an oil bath air filter. Not sure what kind of oil happens to be in there at the moment. I understand what you're saying, though. I agree to the e
Don't disagree with any of your thoughts.... There is an additional element to this whole thing that is also important to me.....individuality. Having something unique. I like to think of my truck al
I can give you my reasons on this. Modern is not always better. I like to pick and choose which modern item I feel are assets without taking the ones I feel are detriments to what I am trying to ach
Well, you do have a point, but the 235 was light years ahead in design for its time. The Toyota Land Cruiser still uses a copy cat motor in it for non USA vehicles. The engine is not a power house, b
Why would anyone want to put EFI on a 235? The first reason would be to see if you could do it! The second reason is because it would be almost totally ironic....and thus, a worthy project. Kind of l
On my particular truck I will be going all original with two exceptions. These two exceptions are in the name of preservation and practicality in using this as a NON daily driver and only driving it

Adding fuel injection is very simple. Get a wrecked car or truck with a simular engine. TBI would be the easiest to install, all that is a pressurized carb. If you use something more complicated like
Sorry for the confusion here, i was tired when i wrote this. The Bosch system can get coplicated. Many of these systems require a place to screw the nozzle into the head. That would be a challenge fo
What a grate discussion here HEI and EFI both grat subjicts. i m o elt.ign. is far better than points , if it`s done right. Pertronics, Ignoiter or any of the kits you put in your old dist. are JUNK.
The Ford EEC can easily be tuned with some sort of external adaptor. I hate to go Frod...but it is a nice piece. A custom PROM or specialized equipment is definitely needed. There seemed to be some d
Jetronic, Yes, it's not just a simple bolt on, I was referring to TBI as a easy way, TPI or l/J would require more, but if I recall the Volvo I had was a Bosch K-tronic? ...does that sound right? It
