I just helped install the Cobra upper and lower intakes on an 86 Police Mustang that had EFI that wasn't much to it, we had to change to computer and add a wiring harness for the mass air meter.

Be a little harder on a 69 Bronc, eh?

New pump, lines, afpr, rails+injectors, harness, cpu, throttle cable, all the induction hardware; ie: upper/lower intake, tb, inlet tube, maf, etc.

Lotta money, good install time too. Cheapest way to get started would be to strip an 86 or newer truck/mustang of its harness/cpu and hardware.

you will want to strip a mustang that already has mass air. trucks didnt get mass air till late 94 . it can be done and shouldnt set you back to much at all. do some research on the net , there are lots of people that have gone this route with there early model broncos and are very happy .

later

You could just can an entire motor from a Mustang. I believe Painless Wiring make a new harness for putting a EFI 302 in a early Bronco.
