My car has over 170xxx miles on it and is starting to burn a lot of oil so i know i got to rebuild it. But a local guy on a site here is selling abunch of 351w parts. I was just wondering your opinions on how hard it would be going from 302 efi to a carbed setup and if that would be a good idea. And if it would fit under my current hood. Here are the parts he has for sell, i dont know if the prices are good, not really sure what they go for so if someone wants to chime in and let me know that would be great. thanks

all youll need are hydro roller link bar lifters, and the right head set-up for a roller cam. not sure what year block that it is but i have a 93 block and thats how im doin it. as far as converting it to carb, id say yes thats the way to go. it will end up beeing cheaper in the long run and give you less head aches and if done right, more power. if you do the efi to carb set-up the right way then its a piece of cake. i did it to my 87 and it consisted of removing entire engine harness, fuel pump and lines, installing low pressure fuel pump, regulator, new fuel lines and new ignition. youll want to do all of this with a bigger engine upgrade so its gonna get done no matter what
Well that definitely helped me out as well.I am wanting to take this piece of crap 302 out and drop a 351w at the first of the year.After reading your posts,I like the idea.I was considering efi and then after this headache I have with this 302,I am going to go carb.I only question is,can it be daily driven? Thats my most important thing.I have another mustang,but I want to drive my 90 and a 351 under the hood would be nice.
people drove carbs daily for 60-70 years before EFI was becoming standard.
what makes you think technology reversed itself and carbs are no longer DD'able?
