Thinking about going EFI

[mustangman33]

Got a carbed 351w in my car now, and since Ive been on stangnet been considering switching to efi over the winter, Im thinking about going to the bone yard and finding a efi 150, taking the computer, wiring harness, sensors, lower/upper intake, etc., will this work, would I be able to be setup like a 5.0 efi even if its an older efi setup.

You'll need a new upper intake, the truck upper intake is way to tall.

Cant I use the 5.0 upper, and do I have the right idea about the swap, just thougt bout somthin, cant I get all of the efi stuff from a 5.0, and just use a 351w lower intake.

The 5.0 lower isn't wide enough. You might be able to use the upper, but I KNOW the lower must be changed.

Oh I thought you were putting the 5.0L in the car. The windsor is wider so the 302 intakes won't work. Most everything should swap over, you'll have to use a truck lower manifold and an edelbrock or trick flow upper.

thanx for the replies, nother question, will I need all of the efi stuff, like all of the sensors, can I just get all of the fuel and air parts, like tb, injectors, o2 sensors etc., or will I need everything to go thru the cycle.

Every thing is needed so the computer can make the proper adjustments. If your at WOT and don't have the sensor how is the computer know to dump more fuel to mix with the added air. Besides it would run like crap if you did have all the sensors working.
