Seems easy to swap efi to the carb. But. If you have the AOD
Transmission you have to relocate the TV cable or as I call the shift cable. If not you will burn up that Trans in week.
The cable controls shift points up and down from the position of the throttle

The reply is correct, your potential truck and mine have to pass CA Smog every two years...
Changing to a carb would be a big California Smog NO NO... wish I had the fuel injection!

1985 ford efi to carb
I am swapping out my 302 in my 1985 ford which is efi and I'm putting in a 351 Cleveland carb. The 351 Cleveland is a complete motor. Will the swap be easy. And can I get any information about the wiring. Thanks in advance.

Just so you know.
If you were putting in a 351 Windsor, most of what you already have will work.

Just in case you weren't aware; the 351 Cleveland is a totally different motor than a Windsor - totally different. Nothing that is currently in your truck will bolt up to it. You'll need new everything. You can use the rear diff you have. Everything from there to the radiator will have to be different.
