Old 350 in a 91 rs?

I fineally got another 3rd gen (91 rs,tbi 305,5spd) I am taking the motor out of my 85 c10 that I just got done building. The motor is a rebuilt 1st gen 350 with double hump heads/voodoo cam/780 carb. Is a fpr all I need to use the carbed 350 or will I run into other troubles since the car is computer controlled?

You're issues might be with accessories - if those heads have accessory holes in them to mount alt, p/s pump, etc. then you'll be fine - if not then might have to get old school accessories and brackets that mount to block rather than heads. I'm assuming this will be carburated, so yes you'll need a return-style fpr like the Mallory 4309. Also need a vacuum advance dist., and a method for locking up the torque converter if using the 700R4 auto transmission.

Read the carb swap sticky in the carb forum.
