Okay, so I started today pullin apart my new parts car for my T5 swap. My buddy want's to put a 5.0 in his 67. We have a complete 302 from a 92 vert and my parts car is an 86. He wants to stay carb'd, and we were just trying to figure out which is the better base for a carbed motor, the 86 or the 92. Are there differences? I know the 92 is hydralic, and I'm pretty sure there are differences between the two, I just don't know what they are. Is one better than the other for a carb'd application? He was also talking about maybe adding a s/c but wasn't sure on that.

Both motors are hydraulic. Both motors are also originally EFI. Doesn't make a difference which you use, but the '92 has "better" heads on it with the E7's and flycut pistons.
