judging by your profile here, I’m guessing you’re talking about an 87 mustang… in which case, stock, your car should be speed density. So, what exactly are you talking about? So you can get some better answers. ---

Wanted to make sure, cause your username says camaro, but you profile says mustang. 🙂 PM BDR5OH, he throws carbs on 5.0s likes it going out of style. It’s pretty straight forward. Intake manifold, carb, air cleaner. Cut out ~40 lbs of wiring. ---

While there is nothing wrong really with a carb setup, what is preventing this setup from being fixed? That said it would seem like a straight forward affair as far as the swap is concerned. ---

> [@dftsilvia](#): > > y would u convert from maf to carb??? efi is way better than carb. It is? I think that depends on your goals and intentions with the car. i’ve had both EFI motors and Carb motors in my car, I can’t say one was better than the other. There are adantages and disadvantages to everything…
