5.8/351w rebuild

hi all, i currently am in the rebuilding process of a 1991 351w efi engine. i have been thinking of replacing the intake with a carbed intake. what i need to know is, will an intake from a older 351w fit this engine or will i have to buy one from like edelbrock or summit or somewhere like that. any help on this would be much appreciated.

An older one will fit but an aftertmarket one will do a better job. Your going to need some other parts too. A different ignition system, carb fuel pump or a low pressure regulator. I'm not sure but if it's an auto tranny it might be electronic controlled. Probably some other stuff too. Some here should be able to help a bit more.
