You should swap the heads and cam and TPI while you're at it probably.

But yes, you can swap that over as long as it's a 1970 or so or newer 350. The older heads dont have the threads for the accessory brackets on the front I dont think. Like some of those overhyped "camelhump" heads.

You'll need a different flywheel as well - or maybe just a different starter - someone that remembers better can chime in (my old brain can't remember)

Why not keep it simple and get the entire LT1?

This carb on Gen II/III engines stuff just baffles me.

Honestly I am done with fuel injection. Unless its a new car or an LS1 she's gunna be carbed. But it turns out the LT1 I was hopin to get was sold and now its runnin in a stock car the town over.

And I might even put a carb on an LS1 if I was to get one, a friend of mine might do it on his "modified" firehawk.
PS: the car will out run a procharged fox body with a 5.0 cobra engine.
