Well, the best thing to do is to pull up the dash, the drivers kick panel, rocker panel cover and rear 1/4 on the drivers side and rip out all the useless wires front to back. It's a week's project. To just ghetto gut it is real easy. You'll just need to re run the temp guage, headlight and alternator wiring. Now is a great time to remove that mass of crap behind the original battery tray (starter relay and the fusible links) and move it to the other side of the fender to REALLY clean up the enginebay. You'll pat yourself on the back when you are done. Then sneak one bundle of hoses and wires in the driver's side back. Getting rid of the heater plumbing CRAZY cleans up the enginebay too (you probably dont drive it in the winter anyway). Oh yeah, I think the A/C has some clutch controlled through the computer. You'll need to goose this or......rip it out. A/C removal is the definitive enginebay cleaner. You'll lose 100 or so pounds too.

As for the fuel pump switchover, you will need an eccentric of an 85 mustang for the front of your cam and a new timing chain cover (actually, it looks like the efi ones have the necessary fitting and depression on the driver's side of the TC cover, you just need to cut it open in the back and tap it for bolt holes). The actual pump can use your existing fuel lines. Take the return line and decouple it near the passenger side sway bar attachment point and cap it off. Take the supply line and forward of the first coupling (near the same sway bar attachment point) and hacksaw the steel fuel line and slip some hose over it and clamp. Then run hose in front of the oilpan. This setup has worked 2+ years for me now.

A lot of people will tell you that you need a different fuel tank but this is not true. Just drop you tank, take the fuel pump out, unscrew the pump from it's bracket, take the feed tube on the bracket and attach a fuel hose (it must be a fuel hose) a little bit longer than necessary to reach the bottom of the tank. When reinserted, the tube will turn sideways when it hits bottom. Makes a good scoop. 2 years running with this setup.

As for the carb, I need to place a vote for the Holley. Some people are fanatical about their edelbrocks but the general consensus is that they are a bit harder to tune and a bit more exotic than holleys leading to less popular knowledge. Plus there's people selling dominators and deamon carbs on ebay for $100-150!!!

As for the extra parts....ebay them! I just made a couple 100 bucks selling off my excess parts in auctions! It's the bomb! You can even sell your old e7 heads and people buy them!

Well, anyway

Have fun!
