there are only about 5 wires that are different, and the haynes book will help. the fuel tank fits straight on, if you plan to strip all of the injection components, why don't you just go back to the scrappy and get the belmont engine, and sell the gte lump to someone else??????????????????



ps. the injection stuff is not crap. it gets more power than anything a carb from a belmont could offer, plus 40+mpg on long trips, plus it will pass mot emissions tests.
