Yes. You would need to wire up all of the wires that come with the EFI system from the donor truck.

I suppose you're talking about swapping this into a truck, right?

Well, to be of much help, then, we'd need more specifics.

For instance, I put an EFI LS1 in an '82 that originally came with an LG4. That fits your description.

Assuming you mean 350 TPI, you need a Vortec TPI base.

You'll need a proper fuel pump, of course.
