going from carb'd 5.0 to fuel inj. 5.0
ok, bought car with a carb'd 302, originally a 4 cyl. emissions are a prob, so...
how big a deal is it to put a fuel injected engine, if bought complete into this car? stand alone, or computers to wire into existing dash etc. its a 93, 5 speed. i have a 351w carb"d i'm also considering. any thoughts, ?

If you can get a complete harness from a donour car, it's not too bad to do. Stu (VirgilHilts) and I did an EFI conversion on my 68 Cougar using a 1990 Mustang harness. There are only a few circuits that actually need to be connected to the vehicle itself. A bit of google searching will likely come up with some more details.

yeah, thats the most likely route i'll take. i've got the engine (400 ish HP), the intake, conversion oil pan, just need a flywheel, and headers. should be simple swap from any research i've started to do.
