I am looking into switching my car to a carb. Reasoning is I want to shave my engine bay and have that clean look. What all is involved in doing this. I am pretty new to Mustangs and V8's sorry for the idiot question.

Thanks

pull all the electronics and swap the fi intake manifold for a carburated its relatively simple and connect fuel lines from the injector rails to the carb

theres more to it then that^^^ you need a differernt distributor and ignition box (85 carb replacement stuff, or aftermarket) and and too lower the fuel pressure. i would sump your tank and get a proper carb pump

How much do u think it costs to do something like this? a full FI to Carb swap?

depends if you use used parts, or performance parts??

Fox23

well like the cheapest route.. so used parts? Im sure ill have to get some new things but i mean.. could you give a rough estimate for the swap on a totally stock 302.

im saving 2 grand going carb performance wise
its not hard to convert just a pain in the ***
rewire fuel pump is main thing and get a new pickup tube
new fuel lines
bunch of other stuff there are tutorials you can find
