Hi,
I'm thinking about making my 3500s more fuel efficient so as to employ it as a daily driver. Swapping the gearbox for a five speed from an SD1 seems reasonabley straight forward, but what about efi? From what I understand I'll need the injection manifold from something like a late 80's Range Rover, an ECU (whether from the same car or a after market unit) and a set of sensors for temp, crank etc? Is that it? Anything else? Seems the tricky bit is fitting the sensors and setting up the ECU, but have I missed anything? And when all this is down, will it actually provide much of an increase in fuel economy? Any advice / constructive critcism welcome. :wink:
