Anybody have a step by step how to change a 89 5.0 EFI car into a carb?

I just bought a 89LX that was stopped halfway into the conversion. I would like to get this motor running for now.

If you live in an area that requires smog inspection and you plan to drive the car on the street, forget it. You won't pass the smog test.

If you have no smog inspections or it is a track only race car, do a search in this forum. The subject has been beat to death.

If it's only 1/2 done, try and make it back into an EFI car.
Stock EFI parts are dirt cheap, even free sometimes. It will run better, especially during a detroit winter.
