Hey all, I'm pretty new to the world of tech in regards to Mustangs.  I own a 1966 Mustang, and a 1986 Mustang.  The 86 is a 5.0 EFI HO, and it could certainly use some power.  I also have a pretty built 306 that I want to put in the 86, but I'm not really sure how to go about doing it.  I'm worried about the wiring, as obviously the EFI motor has quite a bit more.  Does anyone know any articles/builds they could direct me to, that would outline this process of converting an EFI engine to a carbureted one without the wiring being completely messed up.  Do you guys think this will be an easy transplant or a hard one?  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hello Edwin, I don't think we've ever attempted this swap. Obviously, you won't need the computer so all that wiring can be tied up in the corner of the engine compartment or removed altogether. I've seen a million carbureted late-model Mustangs out there so someone should have an outline of what's involved. Good luck with your search.
