Check out this site. I had it sent to me and they had everything you would need for the swap already pulled out and ready to ship.

Assuming he doesn't have state inspection or emission testing... I agree.

Carb is the way to go not doubt, but it sounded like he was dead set on FI ing it so I went that way.

We live in rural shelby county Tn, no emissions here yey anyway, I yanked the tired EFI 5.0 out of the boys stang - went clip, clip to about 300 wires and slapped a carbed 351W in it, pretty easy swap save for the fuel system, had to sump the tank, mount a conventional electric pump, plumb it up the way to the engine bay, dropped the a/c and the smog pump and stuck a C4 where the AOD once lived.
It runs some respectable times for a small camed street motor, 7:50's 1/8 on a good day.

You could always go the route of "Megasquirt" fuel injection.

Google it. I plan on using it for my next project, if I can ever sell the GMC.
