ok, my stock 302 isn't cuttin it anymore. And i like the look and simplicity of a carb so that is my chosen root. So come spring time i may be starting an engine build and would like to start collecting parts. My question what is needed for the swap besides headers and oil pan. Like what do you do with the harness and junk like that?

New flywheel also due to the different engine balance. Then the new intake manifold obviously, fuel lines, gas tank pick up, distributor, and then whatever wiring is needed to change for the ignition.

ahhhh, that rings a bell. What do you do with the harness for the injection? Pull the entire harness?
