![]() I just bought a 302 from an early 80's Cougar and found out when i picked it up that it had a throttle body setup(TBI), not a carb. I'd like to use a carb, because the throttle body on this particular engine (1983) is very restrictive, and I'd like to be able to use a 600cfm 4bbl carb instead. I will also replace the cam and cylindar heads as well, so its not like I think that the throttle body is the source of all evil.
Anybody know how I would go about doing this? |

![]() Unbolt the old, remove it, clean the gasket surfaces, install new gaskets and parts, and you're done.
What aren't you sure of? Take care, -Chris

![]() I just thought it would be more involved that just taking off the EFI setup and slapping on new heads and intake, thats all.
Has anybody done anything like this before? |

![]() It only becomes complicated when you make that kind of switch but keep the vehicle. Since it's just the engine, treat it like any other. Very simple!
Enjoy! Take care, -Chris
