From some of the other posts similar to this, as long as the blocks are compatible, it usually involves a complete intake and head swap from the FI motor to the CARB motor. Do some searches on swapping motors and you should find plenty of information on the subject. If you can't find it in this forum, try the forums for your motor type...

You'll have to check for the compatibility between your 91 and the year of the motor your looking to put into it.

Good luck!

Yes.. though depending upon the year of the replacement it may perform worse than the stock motor. '77-83 motors had very low compression so avoid those if possible, and earlier motors will need the heads reworked for unleaded gas. The EFI intake will just bolt on any of these motors however, so that's not an issue.
