You'll need to convertert a carbed intake into fuel injectors (added injector bosses and a throttle body).... you'll also need special motor mounts to drop it into a fox body. The transmission will more than likely end up being a C6. I guess the short answer is yes, it can be done ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Would be soooo much easier to just go with a carb

he wants to use a efi style block though so what is being said here is that you would still need to use a pre87 engine for this and then pay out the ass if you want to use a direct port style injection system

the question was asking if carbureted heads and intake will work on an EFI block. not if you can run EFI on a carbd engine

yea basically the question was is the actuol block different? will pre 87 heads and carb intake bolt on?

Not a huge expert on the 429/460 series but the Ford racing catalog says their CJ heads are for production and aftermarket 429/460 blocks(no mention of specific years). Not a clear answer but I'm sure a call to a good machine shop would probably clear any questions up quickly.

I suppose, but why not save on the long distance fees and call maybe Morgan's Machine shop out near you there in Concord? I'm sure they could give you a definate answer.
