As for detailed info on the <a href="http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/163500" target="_blank">Carbed Ford Message Board</a> I want to say that the CFI does NOT have a roller cam, but I'm not sure. It might be something you want to double check before you buy. Well, if that's important to you anyways. If you want to make a "legal" swap, you'll need a Holley 4180 carb, stock '85 manifold or Edelbrock performer w/egr, egr plate, distributor, mechanical fuel pump, dual snorkle air cleaner, headers w/heat risers, and i'm sure a few things I can't think of right now. If you don't care about legality, well, it's even easier. Oh yeah, lots of people have done the swap on the <a href="http://www.foureyedpride.com/phpBB2/index.php" target="_blank">Four Eyed Pride</a> message board <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
