I went from a 4cyl to a carb 302. I just cleaned up the heads and bolted them and the intake on. I blocked off the egr on the heads and that was about it for the motor. You will have to rig a pickup for the fuel and do your own lines back there and at the motor. You will also have to run a hot wire back to the pump ..etc.
