302 5.0 EFI to 351W Swap...how does the EFI Follow?

I have a 1983 Ford Bronco that has seen it's last days. Actually the truck itself is in ok shape but I blew the heads on it and bought another Bronco for daily driving.

I bought a 1989 302 EFI 5.0 and I eventually want to put the 351W in it. The 351W has an Edelbrock Performer on it, with an Edelbrock 4 Barrell Carb. I would like to keep the EFI and was wondering what is involved with making the 351W an EFI engine. I know it has to do with the manifold and such, but will the computer and such work with a new manifold?

Let me know!

Thanks!

You will need a dist. and upper/lower intake for a 88+ 351w. It will run with 302 comp. but I think it would be slightly lean. I havn't got to the tuneup stage on my 85 swap yet.

I have a Mallory Distributor with Petronix Electronic Ignintion....(in the 351W) will that work? They are both automatics will I need to change the flexplate or anything?

Thanks
