C-4 Engine into a C-3
I need someones info about how to wire a C-4 engine into a C-3 body and make things work right. I'm not sure how much of the Computer wiring I will need from the c-4 or how to make the fuel flow and the motor to fire properly. If anyone has been through this kind of conversion, please help me. Thanks in advance , Larry

Painless wiring makes what you NEED<
what to use???
ALL OF IT !
Everything is involved or needed for the computer to operate the fuel injection...including the fuel pump..the 40 psi it MUST deliver to the rails, the dist pulse to authorize inj operation and even the MAF and its power source so burn-off can operate as needed.
You will also need a FSM for the yr model engine that you are installing. No, they are NOT generic. Each yr was different in some way...sensors, something.
Its a nice project. C3 will scat with the torque of a TPI or LT stuffed in there...

This has been done hundreds of times. If you have the cash, by a LS engine. The market is way bigger than the LT1 engines, and they make lots of power.
