Pretty much documented in the EFI to carb swap tech article. Except the changing of the actual engine.

From the thirdgen.org homepage, on the left margin is a "tech articles" link. Click on that, look for the article on the conversion.

Or, on the Carburetor forum, there is a sticky "welcome to the carb forum" that has a link within it.

Nope.

Except adapter fittings.

And different fuel lines.

Different length throttle cables.

Different distributor.

Different thermostat housing.

Different upper radiator hose.

Different TV cable geometry.

Different air cleaner.

Needing some means to lock up the torque converter clutch.

Being completely illegal for use on public streets, roads, highways, and byways by Federal emissions requirements.

Other than that, all you need is a return-type fuel pressure regulator.
