You will need the computer and wiring harness from the F150, the inertia fuel shut off switch, the relays, a high pressure fuel pump, new fuel lines for an injected vehicle with a return line and so forth.
How about just an intake and carburetor on the 302? It might not be as exotic or unique, but it would sure cut this job down to a manageable level.
 
Years ago I parted out a '75 mustang II v8 and stuffed it's guts into a '74 pinto. I had small issues with exhaust and electronic ignition but with minor modification it became the fastest $400 car I ever drove.
Now, 20 years later I have a '73 pinto that's running and a daily driver, and an '87 ford f150 with a 302 efi motor sitting next to my house that I can't afford to register with California DMV because it has "Paperwork" issues.
My question is this.
What do I need to know to make this EFI drivetrain work in this Pinto?
I know the nuts and bolts of making this engine fit in this car and go, but the EFI scares me a bit.
Asking for help as to sensors or control moduals I might need to canabalise in order to make the EFI work propperly out of it's native habitat. all suggestions welcome. thanks for any input.
Sparky.
