Okay so I have an '85 f-150 (Carborated) and an '87 f-150 (EFI) I want to switch engines I have heard that it is possible but not probable lots of electrical work would like to know anything that can help to make it a faster smoother job with less cussing if you know what I mean

For efi you will have to have a low pressure in tank pump and a high pressure in line pump in order to get it the fuel it needs and yes the electrical is more then the carb but it isnt too much more copmlicated, you will need to transfer just about all of the electrical components.

For the carb you can eliminate the inline pump and you should be able to hook it up and run it, you may have to have a fuel pressure and volume reducer though.
