Carb to TPI Swap

I'm sure this question has been asked, but the majority of search results are for a TPI to carb swap.
Here's the skinny:
Have a great deal on a complete Edelbrock TPI system (intake, runners, plenum, etc.) and BBK throttle body. Also comes with Mallory ignition system (dist, coil, etc.).
Current car is 86SC with 305, QJCCC, and auto trans.
Question is what else will I need to complete this swap? Which harnesses? Anything for trans? This system is basically everything from the intake up with the exception of the Mallory parts.

Sounds like a good deal. First and formost, you'll need the fuel system, ie injectors, fuel lines, and fuel pump. Then you'll need an ECM to operate it. You can go stock, but will have to match the ECM to either MAF or MAP systems, or go with an aftermarket MAP system. The harness should be matched to the ECM. You know, it does sound like a good deal, but I can tell you it's a lot of work. I did TBI to TPI, but you will have more to do then I did.

good luck, either way
