well it all depends on if you plan on keeping the engine efi? if not edelbrock makes a great intake and carb setup with all the wiring, and you are definaetly gonna need a bigger fuel pump one that provides the correct flow, then i would find out the dimennsions of the fuell lines on the f cars and then duplicate that onto yours, and you are probably gonna need a good 10 bolt or better!

redws6, i'd suggest you search around this forum a bit. you will find most of the info clear as day as to how a few of us have done the swap. it's not super easy but if you have a bit of fabrication skill then you should be able to follow pretty easily.
