FI conversion

Ok, i know this has prolly been covered a zillion times before, but i couldn't find it in archives. Can anyone point me in the right direction and or link, on the difficulty in a FI conversion on a 79 f-100 w/ a 302. Instead of replacing the 2bbl w/ a 4bbl etc, i would like to go the Fuel Injection route. Any help wold be appreciated.

You might want to think about a swap from a 1987 or newer 302.

Summit Racing and Jegs both carry the conversion kits for the 302.

What do you want? TBI or TPI? Mass air flow or Speed density? Stock or aftermarket?

If you were to take a motor from a newer pickup, like a 351 out of a bronco or something, what would be the process from there? New wiring harness too, computer?
