Any 302 intake should fit. Edelbrock, Holley, Wieand etc...Don't forget to use a distributor with a steel gear with the roller cam.

What is the reason for the change from EFI to CARB? You'll likely lose performance and MPG.

Gotcha, I'd go with an edel torker manifold and a decent edel carb. This will be the most painless. You'll also need the distrbutor, coil, and igntion module from an early 80's car or truck 302. The TFI system relies on the computer to set timing and advance. The duraspark II system is a vacuum advance system with an electronic control module.

That's only true for Chev junk.

Ford engines are more interchangeable carb/EFI than GM.
