Could it be that the changeover to SEFI came later for Canadian cars? Like California cars got mass air before the
rest of the country.

that IS Absolutely a 351W Canadian/Police engine, and there was no noteworthy underhood change in 1986.
Also, sorry I haven't gotten that scan you wanted yet, I will have it tomorrow, been having some issues.
And just to clear it up, Canadian cars never got CFI, so they went straight from 2bl carb on 302's to SEFIs, and the changeover was carbed in 1985 and SEFI in 1986. That's a moot point in this case since the 351Ws stayed the same more or less until 1991.

Below is a picture of the stock carburetor for your car with the air cleaner lid off.Originally posted by Mike_O View Post
Conversions were popular as these carbs were difficult to rebuild and sensitive to weather changes. You may have the dealer-installed conversion to a 2bbl Holley carb, which will look something like below.
A 4 barrel swap would be a custom work of some sort, but it's been done.

I'm not sure what BBL stands for, but the first picture resembles my carbeurator I think.Originally posted by johnunit View PostBelow is a picture of the stock carburetor for your car with the air cleaner lid off.

I'm considering switching to EFI. Any opinions?Comment
