Carb conversion on the Fox? That's.... interesting.

Lot easier to get power out of the motor that way.

Yea, but IIRC from my dad's fox ownership years, it was such a PITA that it was generally not recommended. I'd be very curious about who/what/when/where/why it was done if I was looking to buy that one.

For your right foot? Yes.

For your wallet? No (gas, tires, tickets..)

Photo looks good, but you're going to want to look carefully at the front and rear shock towers - structural rust can kill you. There are some good E21 buyer's guides out there - if you get to the point of going to look at it lemme know and I can send you links.

IMHO, it means you have an already rebuilt, likely raced, engine running some hillbilly engineering of dubious reliability. Bring your mechanic!

This is a personal opinion so remember that. I hate learning period EFI. EFI from the 80's to mid 90's is mostly junk as far as American V8s go. The main problem is with Throttle body injection instead of port injection. The tuning was a learning process for the manufacturers as well. My opinion is either get a carb or ls motor as far as Chevy goes. Ford I'm not as familiar with.

I'm not a ford expert so I can't speak to that but if you look at camaros and firebirds I would buy one with an older or newer motor.
