Swaping EFI 5.0 to carb
Before anyone has a heart attack, this is going in a 68 Mustang w/AOD swap.
I have a 92 Tbird 5.0 that I am going to be removing the EFI from, and hopefully swapping to an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap, but I have heard that the water passages were different on the late model blocks.
Has anyone here ever swapped the efi off a late model and ran an aftermarket carb intake? Did you have to change anything?

Oh man, this is right up my alley. 
You will need the following:
Distributor.
Throttle linkage.
Most likely ignition components.
Fuel lines, pump, regulator.
And lots of little suff. My brother and I did my car a long time ago and it was easier than expected and had little to no problems when we were complete.
Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Scott,
Thanks for the 411, I knew I would need the Distributor, I have a mallory unilite out of my 289 (but need the steel gear), the linakge I will pull off the 289.
I am looking to do the edelbrock 5.0 heads/roller rockers a B303 and a holley 670 Street Avenger... You think that would play well with an AOD and a 4.11 rear? I am wondering if I need to swap the T/C out for a higher stall limit...
Since it has no provisions for fuel pumps I assume I could use a holley blue or something along those lines?

How much $$ I am dumping all the efi stuff I have, lower,upper fuel rail wiring, MAF and distributor. Its all off of a 92 Tbird, and has the intake that looks like the 94-95 5.0 Mustang...
I am looking for $200 for all of it....but everything is negotiable.
