No stupid questions
I have been told that there are no stupid questions just stupid answers. However, I feel stupid asking these ones:
I have a 95 SFI 3.4 litre that is going to be rebuilt, naturally aspirated. I have some ideas of how to do this along with some new part numbers, but am confused regarding the current heads on it.
They have the injectors, I won't be useing them so:
a. do I need to change to heads without injectors;
b. can I remove them and run it as is; (not likley);
c. do I plug the injector ports with something?
Again new to rebuilding, just enough knowledge to be dangerous!

the stock FI manifold wont work that well. It is designed to move air only. If you use a carb on it, I dont think it will work that great. Do they make a carb version of the manifold? the kit car guys are always using fwd gm engines in cars. I would check some sites out to see what people have done.

you dont need the injectors then. I guess you are running a distributer too?

Exactly
Correct, no injectors, hence what do I do with the holes the injectors leave when I take them out?
Need some injectors?

If you are moving from injectors to a carb (i don't know why you would though) You need to get a new intake that is built for a carb, thus elimintaing the injector ports. The injectors do not interact with the heads at all beside spraying fuel at the intake valve. Your good to go.

No computer
I am resto-customizing a 1960 Sunbeam Alpine, and will not be putting a computer in it run the FI, also with the cam, manifold, carb, nitrous set up I have planned, I will run about 250-280 HP + or - on a 1850 lb street car. Do the math, it'll go fast enough for me!
