Default Carb vs. Fuel injection

ive got a 1979 Mustang Cobra and was debating the idea of switching from carburetion to fuel injection. im not quite sure what im gonna need in part modifications, other than the typical fuel injection setup. i also have the factory turbo installed and don't quite know how everything will get hooked up in the end, since i have a up-flow pipe from my exhaust manifold back around to the turbo. any pointers would be wonderful!!

Thanks! Matt

Well to start, EFI'd motors don't really have much in common with carb'd motors. First you're gonna need just about everything out of the engine bay of an 88-'90 4 cyl electronically fuel injected car including the entire wiring harness and all wires leading to the ECU. You will also need a fuel pump, fuel lines plus you'll most likely need the fuel tank. Then you need the electric fan, relay module, and the distributor w/ignition module.
