i have a distibuter i will sell you for $20 that is only a month old. i just did a 2.3 to 5.0 swap and went carbed to save money but ended up not happy so i just put in all the efi stuff but can't give the dist back because you have to cut the plug that come with it and wire it in directly. it is the same one you will get if you go into kragen or pepboys and ask for a dist for an 85 carbed mustang (which you need). email me if you want it at mike@savershomeloans.com
i also have a coil (blaster 3) and a wieand stealth intake on ebay i could send you to that i will sell you cheap as well. just an offer.

what kind of ignition are you going to do, i did the HEI conversion, which is IMO easier and faster than to wire in that big Duraspark ignition box. you will need that dizzy from the 85 mustang if you are using a roller cam liek the one that is being advertised above. also you need some wire, a 4 pin HEI ignition module and an optional computer cpu heatsink with or without fan. you can use any coil you want except CD i think. i used the stock tfi coil from a tbird since it is one of the best stock coils. the Weiend stealth intake is one of the best if not the best street intake to use, try to get one. don't go over a 650 cfm carb. actually the recomended one is under 600 i think. i used the 1406 edelbrock carb which is a 600 cfm electric choke carb. it is a nice carb. use a holley blue fuel pump with a reg. i got a cheap one and it sucks. people say that you don't need to upgrade the fuel lines with a bigger line but it is best that you do since carbs need volume and not pressure. i have the diagram for the HEI conversion if you need it or want to look at it.

efi is not that hard, but if your reason is not difficulty, then i'd say just make sure your carb is appropriate for the setup you have. gl
