You know that they can fail you on inspection for having a carburetor on it right? It also wouldn't pass emissions if you have to do that. On top of all that, having a carb isn't going to make more power than the EFI...

In that case you need a 28oz flywheel for your transmission(the 5.0 version is 50oz), and a bypass regulator for the fuel system. There is no need to go inside the tank but that pump pushes a lot more fuel than a carb can use so that's the reason for the bypass regulator. Then just wire in an ignition box like the Ford Duraspark or something aftermarket and use a vacuum advance distributor for example and you're good to go. The 351 will bolt right where the 5.0 was using the same engine mounts but since the engine is wider you will ahve to modify the exhaust some.
