'84 crossfire to carburator conversion
Hello All Again,
After doing tremendous research I think the conversion is not very difficult as long as certain things are compromised. Please allow me to run these things by everyone for comment. 1. Emissions - 1984 was a very early stage of emission control and the components can be easily bypassed or disconnected completely and be similiar to the '79 'vette, as strictly a toy car for me I feel the emmissions issue is non existant as I dirve the car less than 5000/yrs tops and there are no emision controls where I live and if I must bypass those laws it can be done by either reregistering th ecar as a street rod or an antique. 2. Intake and Carb - Edelbrock has a combination that will fit under the hood and not force outside body alterations,so on the street it is invisible. 3.Valuation - the value of an '84 C4 with 128,000 miles is very limited as it now stands probably the maximum value is less than $5,000 a very inexpensive toy for a play car. With the conversion I know I could sell it for around $3500.00 a $1,500 loss but much less than a new toy. 4. Distributor - this is kinda up in the air some say it has to be replaced with a vac advance distributaor and some say t does not, i will have to try the original first and if it don't work then replace it. 5. The biggest issue is the transmission with the kickdown, most information is split 50/50 but it appears the the computer does not control the transmission and is controlled by a cable that may have to custom made but certainly doable I think. 6. Digital dash - the digital (as another very attempt) will still be controlled by the ECM. The total expenditures from Jegs (with the exception of the distributator and transmission) is less that $500.00 Please give me any comments or knowledge from your experiences. Thanks in advance. Art '84 red/red soon to be carburated |
