If your going carb then the CPU is not needed, but since 87 was the first year to have teh 400 kick down in the computer a switch is needed. Bought it have not installed it yet.
Im about to convert an 86 v6 to a RAMJET 350 v8, from what it sounds like, the motor mounts are going to be a huge problem, is that true?
