Default Changing EFI to carb? What does it take?

OK, I know I am going to get some SH** for asking this asked question however, I need to know because I have allot of manifolds, crabs and distributors laying around and this EFI stuff is starting to get to me? I never had a EFI before and I always had carbed cars, E.G. Camaros etc. Is it a major under taking in order to convert a 302 5.0 EFI to a carb motor? Be honest...

If you have a lot of crabs laying around that sounds like a personal problem LOL

No big deal.

Use an '85 throttle cable and splice up the dizzy
connections a little. and of course different fuel pumps and lines
but again you can order fuel lines for an '85 if you want from 50resto.com

Some people say an idiot.lol. I cant give you much help, but i can support your decision to carb. I love mine. Yea, gas mileage sucks but there is nothing like the feel of those mech. secondarys opening up except maybe boost or nitrious.
