its a piece of cake (for me). if you've never changed an intake you might think its difficult.

check your local smog laws first.
if you go computer controlled carb you need to change ecms and some of the wiring.
the major work would be changing your fuel pump, so its probably best to buy a fuel pressure regulator and leave your fuel pump where it is.
then you'll need to swap distributors.

I'm actually doing the same exact thing. And I already got a new Carb (Edel Brock) and a new fuel pressure regulator along with the intake. Would you happen to know about a web site that could help me with this project? Thanks.

There's a link to a tech article on the subject in the "Important/Useful Information" sticky at the top of this forum called "Welcome to the Carb Board; Please Read."
