It isnt a very hard thing to do. Baisically if the car is set up for carb already all you need to do is change the intake over to a carbed intake and stick a carb on there and open it up for the fuel pump. Also just set the two motors side by side and make sure that everything your carb motor has the new FI motor will have after all the swaps have been done. I did this when I put a new motor in my friends 86 F150. Put a fuel injected 351 into a carbed truck and converted the FI to carb
