Default 1983 5.0 Carb to 1995 Mustang, EFI Conversion

Hello, I have an 1983 ford mustang with a 1990 5.0l HO carb engine with a T5 Transmission. The engine used to be EFI but now its carb. The guy that had it before converted the engine to carb but I want to convert it back to EFI and then install it in my 1995 mustang that currently has a V6 3.8l in it. I have the upper and lower intake manifolds, injectors/rail and distributer from a 1991 mustang engine.
Can someone give me some step by step advice or any advice on how to do this? Is this possible to do?

Thanks for your time.
Jeff

I would try to get a hold of a shop manual for the car.

Default carb to efi

So it's that simple? All I need to do is install the intake manifold & injectors and get a computer and harness? What year computer and harness should I get?
Thanks guys,
Jeff

Since you're already going to have to switch the computer and harness over, get an A9L and corresponding harness. It'll be better than getting a picky, finicky 1994-1995 computer.

Hi, I got a A9L computer and harness and installed it in the car. It doesn't fit any connector inside the cab of the car except the computer. What do I need to do to get the harness to fit? Any help?

Thanks
Jeff
