I was looking at putting a sbc into my 97 firebird formula. I was just wondering what all is required for that. do i not use my computer, harness, etc. do i have to buy anything else to use or run the engine?

it will have a carb and ill hook it up to the fuel lines, but other than that i have no idea if i need other things.

what about a sbc with fuel injection ?

I replied to your PM, there are guys here that have done a swap like this and did keep it EFI.

Would going efi make the swap easier? would not have to worry about it fitting under the hood, etc.

shouldn't effect tuning or performance should it?

Well, if you go EFI it is not the concern, it is the fact that these cars are not meant for a distributor.

for the motor mounts, a fabricator made ours. For the fuel system, we ran a return style fuel regulator. Keeps the stock pump and works with a carb. Distributor gets a 12v source with key on.

If you get rid of the opti u need distributor right?

i know i sound like a beginner, because i am, but i would be getting someone to install it, i just need to know what to buy.

Yes, you need some kind of ignition system for it to function.
