I'm the guy to tell you to go carb and never look back. I carbed both of my cars and definitely don't regret it. The number one reason is the simplicity of the engine and it's components (easy to track problems). The number two reason, I can change the plugs in 15-20 minutes in my 302 lx. The number three reason, Look how clean the engine bay is!! I have an F cam in my lx and it idles pretty good with that holley atop the engine.

Hey Dark 5.0, when I put the 351 in my GT, that was the main reason I didn't stay efi. Then, I liked it so much, I did the same thing to my brother's car when I got it from him (the 302 lx).

**I would add that, when I swapped the 302 to carb, it didn't make a difference in the a$$ dyno. But now it idles better and sounds much meaner.
