I am a dinosaur and I prefer a carb. Most of the other guys are big Fuel Injection fans. I hate sensors and all the problems they present and have a;ways been good at building/tuning carbs so there you go its all a personal preference thing.

I've always liked the carbs. And i'm not sure what can of worms I would be opening when putting in the computer and sensors.

What kind of car did the EFI engine come from? Do you have all of the wiring/etc?

EFI is much more involved than slapping a carb on something but the end result is better when it's working correctly. The 89-93 MAF mustang engines are what most folks seem to use and parts are becoming scarce.

If I am not mistaken they also get the 5.0 engines out of explorers which are also becoming harder to find but you need the wirring harness from the vehicle with the computer or you will be buying a computer and making a or buying a wirring harness.

I want to say a Mercury cougar. I have everything including the whole car.
