putting a 89 tbi 350 in a 78

[clay78]

just wondering if, and whats needed to put a 89tbi 350 in where my inline 6 250 was? do i need the wiring harness ? is it easier to make it carburated? do i have to move or change motor mounts? and will it bolt up to my 78 4 speed MT?

probably gonna need the computer and harness

Need computer and harness from the donor. Would take the engine mounts from the donor as well. Not sure on the transmission. Short term would be easier to put a carb on it, but it depends on what you are looking for in the swap.

can i put a carb on the engine and use the old harness? thats what i would rather do. or i can get a 84 block and heads with an intake and carb. then could i take the front end pullys and water pump exc.. and put them on the old engine? thanks

Mostly old harness would work with a carb swap on tbi motor. Alternator, oil pressure and water temp connectors likely to be different. Swaping front accessories to older block would be fine as well.
