Question 393 swap concerns

hey guys.
well with 200k+ on my 5.8, it is rather tired.

I have a 393 stroker on the engine stand ready to go, but I have some concerns.

I am rather sure that the stock fuel system won't take a liking to the new displacement, as well as the new can and the headers.

The fuel injection system is sd, so I am rather positive it won't 'learn' anything.

I would like to get a maf conversion, but I still think that this is way too far from stock for even a maf, but mabye I am wrong.

I am sure I would probably need bigger injectors too.

I was considering going to a carb, since I have a few new ones in the boxes still. But my tranny is an E4OD, so I would probaby have to figure out a way to keep that running as well as my distributor. hmmmm
I imagine I would have to get a fuel pressure regulator to drop the pressure down to about 7 psi with a return line.

I have been searching for parts, and been kinda left in the dark. I would rather not have to change the tranny and the transfer case as well.

I am open to ideas

Chris

Ask what the mustang guys do with their modern high performance EFI upgrades.
