You are looking at alot of fab work..not to mention the Amount of Electrical work to get all that F.I. to work properly..I know the engine mounts are Way different...I believe the bellhousing is different as well..

Just a thought, if you all you want is EFI check out the FAST EZ EFI system.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-30226-KIT

I dont use it but I want it. You can easily build a 360 or small block otherwise and throw on this efi system and have what you are looking for. I think the 4.7 would be a waste of time.
