Check your fuel pressure and see what it's at before and during cranking.

newbees...

Ya should have started your own thread... there's no such thing as a stupid question.. unless it's about a Chevy.

To answer your inquery... yes...the intakes will swap no problem.

Swapping from EFI to carb is not as easy or cheap as it seems. You're going to need a new distributor, an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator (that will convert the 50+psi from the tank to between 5 and 7 psi), the list is endless. The transmission is probably computer controlled as well, so you're going to need an aftermarket controller. I had a '92 with a 351w that you'd roll over a few times (turn the key count to ten) and then do it again and it'd fire right off. The fuel injection is going to get you better mileage and performance than a carb ever will.
