Default efi carb swap on 94-95 mustang

hi i am going to be buying either a 94-95 mustang 5.0 in the next month and i was wondering what parts i would need to do this efi to carb swap. also is there any how-to articles on this. from what i read it seems like i can use any 289-302 intake manifold will these bolt right up to a 94-95 heads. also what websites can i order performance and cosmetic parts from. i appreciate any help in advance.

Do you even know how to tune a carburetor? I'm guessing no.

wow! sorry everybody ripped you a new one right off the bat lol. if you really want to do that, just do a search on this section. i know you will need an 1985 mustang distributor, an inline fuel pump, a different fuel pickup, ford duraspark II ignition (you might just be able to use an msd) i think you may have to have a different throttle cable.

I was pointing out the fact that it's rather pointless to convert to a carb if you don't know how to tune one. An improperly tuned carburetor will lose power and mileage over properly tuned EFI.

so will any carb intake manifold for a 302 work on the 94-95 302? i also plan on using a hei distibutor. plus i dont want to keep the efi because i dont want to bother with all the tuning crap.
