the intake , exhaust, and carb on the grummin are special hd parts from ford, and are larger than stock 300's. they will bolt to your newer head, but remember, you have no place for a mechanical fuel pump, and you will have to change the distributer, to make it work without the computer. I would sell the hd unit, and take that money to repair the efi, wich is a much better set up. like compareing an atari to x box. both are fun, but one is way better
