Glenn Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I would like to install a contemporaty, fuel injected engine in an Avanti II. Does anyone have some insight on how this might be done? Has anyone done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCA96 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 An Avanti II has a standard Chevy V8, so any kit that will fit another Gen I block will fit the Avanti II. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Edelbrock and Holley each make well regarded aftermarket fuel injection units for the small block Chevy. Personally I like the Edelbrock but that's me. I would not try and get used parts from a junkyard Chevy...you would play hell getting all the parts needed and the ECU. You would be way ahead money and hassle-wise to get the complete kit from Edlebrock or Holley. You can talk to their techs and provide them with the information they need to get you a computer chip tailored to your needs. What I would really like to see is have someone with the bucks and the 'nads to install a GM LS-series crate engine in an older Avanti. That would be some kind of schweet! I could see installing a crate 505 horsepower LS7 in a Stude framed car and watch the car spin around the engine when cranking it over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
