August 3, 200619 yr can you change a 87 ea82 dual port fuel injected motor to a carb? or did they only make a singal port carb intake?
August 3, 200619 yr Author Only made a single point carb'd intake. Why do you want to go carb btw? My car is a singal port carb motor and i ordered a motor and it came as fuel injected turbo and i thought the intakes would interchange and they want and now the company want take the motor back and i got a motor that want fit the car talk about learning the hard way.
August 3, 200619 yr You *could* change the heads, but then that leaves with the lower compression turbo pistons too... That sucks man.
August 3, 200619 yr You might consider recouping your costs by selling off the engine. EBAY or Craigslist are 2 options. How much do you have into the engine?
August 3, 200619 yr You're only about 100 miles away from me. I may be able to help scrounge up a carb motor locally.

I bought it from one of those Japanese motor imports looks like almost new real clean turbo down and i paid $ 650.00 for the motor and new timing belts.

August 3, 200619 yr I have a 4WD Turbo car here that may need a motor. Its a bit modified hehe, a bit.... and I got one up here just an hour from Colorado and its a bit modified too... doesn't need an engine either:-p

August 3, 200619 yr i thought the heads was what determined the compression is that not true on this motor? All the heads have the same combustion chamber, so no. What determines compression is the pistons. Turbo pistons have a bathtub cut into the top of them, making them 7.7:1 instead of the carb's 9.0:1
August 4, 200619 yr where are you at and how much and what is the mod you should ask him what are the mods. He's got more then one;)
