After looking around and talking to several folks, I'm fairly well convinced that I want to go with a crate motor. My 302 has 156k on it, and while it doesn't smoke or use any oil, I have a feeling I'd be much better off going with a crate motor over rebuilding this one. I'll just have to wait a bit longer, as a crate motor would blow this "budget build" up. $2k for a budget H/C/I versus $5k for a complete crate (minus a few odds and ends which I'd have to purchase either way I go).
Anyway, I've looked at several vendors and they all say the crate motor isn't compatible with factory fuel injection. What do they mean by this? Is this something to do with the tune, or injectors/fuel lines/pump or what? It wouldn't make sense that you would have to go carb for all of these setups. What am I missing?
