Default help:el into ea?

can get a el motor with 110thou on it for 650.apart from changing the ecu to a ea mpfi one as mine is cfi and using a mpfi fuel pump what else is to be done? it comes with everything and i guess i have to use the engine loom of it or do i have to get an ea mpfi one.will my power steer and a/c along with the balancer fit onto it or do i use the el ones? it doesnt come with the steer and ac pump so if i could use mine it would be great.do i just plug it in and then it works?im under the impression that i have to get a 3spd kickdown cable of a mpfi ea and the throttle body of one to. can the el throttle body be used at all? if i use my pulleys will it be okay to run the fan?thanks

get the el motor, keep the serpentine, put in a set of thermos, and you can bolt all the normal EA intake\exhaust on and enjoy.

I have an EF motor in my car, but i also converted to 4 speed auto.

with a 3speed auto, it cant work, unless you dont want a kickdown cable , you plan on a real trick set up.

otherwise yes the el manifold can be used, search on 'BBM*' in the e-series forum if you want details on fitting one.

CFI or MPFI no big deal, bolt all the CFI stuff back on to get the car going first, convert to MPFI later if you want.
