It prolly is possible, but considering that the fuel injectors and the air/fuel metering system is all controlled by the ECU, which relies on a number of other sensors to determine fuel flow and the air/fuel ratio, I think you'd have to reprogram the ECU to get it to adapt to a carb.
If you wanted to do this, you might be better off swapping in a big ol' V-8 from an old Mustang or Camaro or something. wink
In short, I will offer the age-old saying used often in these forums: with enough $$$$$$$$$$$, anything is possible.
