That's just a feeler, as I have only worked with yanking carbed engines, but what would be involved in pulling out the 350 SBC and TH350 outta my truck and dropping in a 302 and an AOD? I know the SEFI wants high-pressure for the fuel, so a supply line and a return line and a new fuel pump will be needed for sure. I'm more concerned with powering the ECM and doing the rest of the wiring... The SEFI injector and sensors harness is supposed to be pretty much self-contained so that only plugs in the ECM, but what about the rest of the stuff, such as relays and alternator regulator?

Tom, truck uses a single sump pan, I believe Ford trucks have the same thing? I can always go aftermarket, that ain't that big of a concern. I'm really more worried about the wiring nightmare I may be unleashing upon myself... will some spare harnesses from a donor car help, or I'll just mess it up even worse? And now that I think of it, those are questions that everyone with a currently carbed vehicle will (or at least should) be asking if they decide they wanna go SEFI.Comment

Is it a front sump, or rear-sump design?
