EFI swap

Does anyone know what parts are necessary to convert a 1980 351w to EFI? I know that I need a new fuel pump, wiring harness & sensors, intake manifold, and injectors. What else am I missing?

I need to either do the conversion or change back to a stock manifold because the bronco didn't pass the visual part of California's stupid smog check. Anyone want to trade for an Edelbrock intake and carb?

The 80 model did not come with EFI. So, you'd need the whole harness from a donor vehicle. You'd need the ECM, distributor, and the correct intake for the injectors. Fuel pump swap to a high volume on. Without the donor vehicle, it's a long lengthy and detailed process. Quick fix, go back to the stock config.

You will also need gas tank the parts book say the newer EFI set up take different tank.
Just get a donor truck and save your time. Time = money in running around.
