Bggest factor before you do anything is what is your budget?
To convert from the factory efi setup to a 1000cfm 4 barrel T/B isn't hard nor is it unheard of, its just expensive. Here are some approximate costs: Edelbrock Super Victor EFI manifold & fuel rail kit: $1075 Holley 1000cfm Throttle body: $850 Aftermarket ECU: $2100 (Motec M48) Installation & tuning: $2200 Gaskets, air filter etc: $300 For a total of approx $6500.

Weve seen an ED 5oooh... in a ZJ fairlane with a C4, with efi, not a powerful car I can tell you, converted it to carby, with a more stall,600 vac, accel twin point and it woke it up considerably. Not a good move in an e sereis though. These sort of mods are very cheap to do, second hand the parts came to just over $650, with a brand new carby, gaskets the lot.

LOL Tom do you remember the ZJ when it had the 5.0L, AOD and the 2.77 diff? Wasn't too fast then!! 
*off topic* Have you got that cam in yet?

Yeah i'm not not too worried about budget as it's a long term thing and i can get the pieces bit by bit as i can afford them. I plan for an engine rebuild and cam in the next year or two anyway so it will all get done at the same time. I was just a little worried about the MAF that's all but now i know you can work around it. Thanks for all the help and estimations of costs etc.

Absolutely that was a muppet, so was the car im talkin bout now come to think. Yeah cam made the 302 much more snappy, the aod is the problem. gunna get rid of it when 5.8 goes in with ur cam.... u reckon Weiand Xellerator is a better choice than Edelbrock Performer, ive heard good things....Anyone want a good aod with a morestall...ya need a bigblock to run em.... why is Phil such a loser

If you do decide to go down this path you would be crazy to leave the standard heads, look to change to at least a set of 180cc alloys.

HAHAHAHA ol' Phil Buttmunch... He had some ideas, not all of them good.
Personally for your XC 351 with the Comp cam, I'd run a Performer and a 1" phenolic spacer. Xcellerator I'd look at if you plan to stokesitup and run on BBQ fuel. C4 and a 2200-2500 converter would be spot on.

While the motor is in bit's i'll make sure everything that needs/should be replaced/upgraded is. I would like to stroke it too. Lucky i have a few mechanic mates who said they are willing to help put with the work providing they are in no rush. Businees with mates can sometime turn messy lol, we'll see.
