Default Carb to EFI swap

I can get a 91GT EFI engine and everything that goes with it for $350 and it runs. How hard is the swap into an 85 carb?

no swap of timing cover is necessary....just remove mechanical pump and buy a block off plate......you'll need the complete wire harness and swap out pick ups in fuel tank for an efi one and really need an efi tank as it'll have the baffles that surround the tank and keep fuel around the pump so slosh related drivability concerns don't occur..cause a carbed stang in 85 doesn't have a baffle in the tank....you'll also need to wire in a set up to run the elec pump..in short it'll be a project.. there are alot of little details I'm leaving out too..just to much to list.. my advice.. stay carbed and buy a efi car
