Won’t fit. I went thru the same crap with the EEC4 fuel injection you’re going thru right now. YOu may find an adapter in a speed shop to change the carb but you still have the same sorry ignition with TFI. Sorry, LEE

I’ve put several aftermarket intakes for carburetors onto fuel injected engines with no problems.

One intake was an Edelbrock single four-barrel, one Edelbrock was an early version F28 dual 4 setup (before TBI/FI),and the other was a Weiand. All bolted right on.

The only mod I made on the Weiand was to drill and tap a hole near the back for another coolant outlet to connect with a heater core nipple.
