Re: question - 87 V20 TBI - fuel injectors normal?

Hi Robert, thanks for the message. You raise a good point. I was assuming that the tanks and so forth were from an 87, but how would I know? They do have in tank pumps, and the mechanical pump boss is blocked off. I will probably rebuild the TBI this weekend and try to get the exhaust bolted on completely. I do have the original exhaust manifolds, so I am okay there for now. I did manage to round off one of the bleeder screws, so although I put a new line in, the brakes still don't work. I will have to fight with that too. I just don't like the shape of the brake and fuel lines, the lack of proper fasteners to the frame, fuel lines too close to the exhaust, etc. I really want to get the other frame going ASAP and transfer everything over, hopefully in the spring. I am going to try and keep the TBI, but if it ends up costing me too much money, I will just carb it. Does anybody know what the differences are in heads, intakes, etc.? Isn't 87 and inbetween year between the old style (through 86) and the new (88 and up, one piece rear main seal, center bolt valve covers, etc.). Thanks again for all your help!
