Default converting mfi xr3i to efi

Right basically the gfs mfi xr3i cab engine is fooked, ive got a modded xr2i efi lump which i can fit but know i need the efi loom our of an escort, but is it literally just a case of fitting the efi loom and job done or would that be too easy?!

cheers for any help

It is pretty much as you'vbe said, there may be one or two loose ends to patch up, like for example the fuel pump being external.

Another option is get a 2i loom and wire that in

thing is tonys efi has uprated cam and pulley, head is ported and polished and the ecu chipped. so id rather run the 2i head as id then have a few more horsies and a bit more torque.

also meansd we can then scrap the fez and make space for the cos.

Well the loom is in and so is the engine, managed 2 find an efi cab at the breakers and took the loom out and have part fitted it, unfortunatly theres a shit loads more wires that her mfi loom so cant remember where half of them go!! was gonna cut the loom and join the rear light/pump wireing but there is 1 more wire on the efi loom that the mfi one so will prob have to change the lot!

So now have to tie up just a few loose ends, or wires as it were
