Some question on SBF engines.

[nevermind65]

I want to build the car with all the wiring and accessories in place. I already have the EFI pump in the tank, and the fuel line run. To use a carbed engine would turn into a hassle. I have an extra EFI unit, so I'll just throw it on the old engine, drop it in the car, and go for the title. After I pass, I'll just yank the old engine, throw in the newer engine, which I'll have rebuilt, and everything will be set.

If the accessories and everything bolted up, which apparently they do from what everybody is saying, it will only take a couple hours to throw the old 302 in place, hook up the wiring, fuel, and hoses, and it's a go.

I think everybody is reading more into this than I plan on making it. I don't plan on switching cams, pistons, or anything like that.

Sonds like it should work. Good luck!

With injection you have a return line to the tank, correct? It would be MUCH easier to drop a carbed motor in and route the excess pressure to the tank than changing all the injection over. You could run the points distributor as well, it would save an enormous amount of time. I say this because, depending on state regs, you have to have the equipment for the year engine in the car. In other words some states would flag it because injection was not part of the old engines equipment. You might check into the inspection specifics. I have sold some old equipment to people that needed original components to qualify their car in the inspection process.
