88 5.0 roller motor

hey guys
i have a question i've fond an 88 5.0 roller motor an trans complete for $200.00
a friend of mine does demo cars an he said he's going to pull the motor an trans out runs great 70000 miles my question is can i pull the injection off
and make it carbrated for my 74 grabber it has a 250 six c4 thanks grabber/74

 

Yes you can pull the injection and swap to a carb and intake.

 

You'll need a steel geared distributor for it as well if it's a roller cam.

 

It's a little more complicated than just carb and intake.

Block the air pump holes.
Switch to mechanical fuel pump - you need eccentric and timing chain cover and oil slinger if you can find one.
The 88 engine has a 50oz imbalance flywheel so make sure the flywheel and harmonic balancer are both 50oz.
88 is roller cam so a hardened or brass gear on the dizzy is a must.

im getting the whole motor trans and drive shaft for 200.00 delivered
to my house will pull the motor here so what i don't need i'll set aside
thanks for the input grabber/74

 

I believe you will need to swap to a front sump oil pan as well as the change in pump and pickup.

Oh yeah ... I knew there was something else ....

 

Don't forget to plug the dipstick hole in the side of the block. If your car has a column shifter, you'll need to fab a bracket to support the shifter linkage too, the 5.0 blcok doesn't have the hole for this that the earlier ones did.
