Default intake swap

I have a 5.0 out of a 88 thunderbird and right now it is fuel injected and i converting it to carb. I found an intake and carb cheap and it is on an stock 81 5.0 and i was wondering if it is going to work.

That intake would 'work' but there are lots better out there.
Get on e-bay and find an Edelbrock Torker and then find a 600 Holley carb.

Just curious, I am new to the whole racing scene. Why would you want to go from fuel injection to carb.

Carb will let you run more max horsepower and they are easier to work on and self tune.

No computer chip to mess with.
