![]() You would have to replace the intake manifold with a carburetted one, as well as get a carb and an air cleaner for it. You'll also need a new distributor. Make sure it has vacuum advance provisions, and a steel gear (you will need to tell whoever you buy it from that it will be used with a billet steel roller camshaft, otherwise it may have a cast gear, which won't last very long with that cam). You will need an electric fuel pump, too. You would be wise to replace the water pump if that engine has been out of service for more than 2 weeks. The seals dry out and start to crack, and it's a lot easier to change the pump now than after the engine is installed. Remember, though, that you will have to get a pump for that engine, not for your car, because the design is different. You will now have what's called a serpentine accessory belt system, as opposed to traditional V-belt fan belts, and the devices that are driven from the belt on the front of the engine have to be the ones designed for a serpentine belt. A larger radiator would be a wise idea too. Other than motor mounts, I can't think of anything else right now. If I do, I'll post it later.
Take care, ~Chris
