advice on trade

I've got a 78 lincoln with a 460 and a c6 transmission, both in good condition i paid $300 for the whole car, and i want a 351w i found a guy who wants to trade me a parts truck for the car. the truck has everything but the trans..and rearend and interior. the truck has a 351w in it he is a honest guy he said that the motor was in good shape as far as it doesnt knock or smoke, the truck is a 83 2x4 he says it has a computer in it but its not fuel injected can anyone explain to me what that is all about...it has a smog pump and it looked like a aluminum intake.. will this motor work in my truck without the computer?..i have a 1984 4x4 ...Any info would be appreciated thank you!

thats the first i ever heard of a computer being on one that old my 85 f150 4.9 has computer controlled dizzy and a feedback carb but i think 84 85 is the first year they started playing with computers. What does your 4x4 have in it now? plus if the truck does have a computer you can convert over to duraaprk realy easy and cheap.

I just stripped the ECM out of an 82 F250 W/ 351w. We installed a DS II Dizzy and it runs like a champ. We also ripped all of the sensors and other junk off to. makes for a cleaner Engine compartment.
