using a carb'd engine in a pro rock crawler? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Does anyone know if people are successfully using carberators in a pro rock crawler or is everyone running EFI? Just wondering because nothing is better than an engine bay with no wiring, but i dont want to do propane. EFI is doable if i keep the stock wiring system but its such a PITA. i know there have been some advancements in carbs in the past few years.

Chris Durham won ARCA in 2001 with a quadrajet mounted backwards.

Maybe four or five years ago, but not currently.

Those who come to wheel in Farmington with carbs usually go home early.
