OK, now that I know which 351w shortblocks are OK to use, I'd like to find out more about Carb'd set ups vs EFI. What does an efi set up require that a card'd set up doesn't and vice versa?
Thanks,
Brian

Why would you think that you need 1/2" fuel rails....how much power are you planning on making? Cause if so...you'd better get something bigger than the 24lb'ers and the 190lph pump while you're at it. The stock rails will work fine for what you sound like you'll be doing to it.5ohMustang said:Thanks for the help. I was planning on building up my 302, so I already have all of the following:
70mm TB
73mm MAF
TFS Heads
GT 40 intake
LT Headers w/ H-pipe
24lbs Injectors
1.7 Comp Cams RR
I also plan on ordering a custom cam and a 190lph fuel pump. If I have this figured out right, whether I went carb or FI, I would still need 1/2" fuel rails, 351 distributor, swap headers, swap oil pan kit, a different lower intake or a carb, a 28oz flywheel, flexplate, and harmonic balancer, and the accessory bracket. Only difference being that, w/ a carb set up, I could just sell the TB, MAF, and GT40 Intake. Have I got this correct?

Well, not quite that easy. Remeber, that little rubber fuel hose is under 40+lbs of fuel pressure. He'd have to have one made up somewhere, like a place that specialized in hydraulic fittings (either rubber or braided) with the proper ends so that it wouldn't leak or blow out when the pressure was on.T_5.0_N'works said:All it is, is that little rubber fuel hose isn't long enough to connect the lines, so spend like 3 bucks and get a little longer one, easy.
