Chevrolet Repair: Motor swap, hei ignition, pressure and volume

Question
I have a 97' Z71 with a 350 vortec... i have recent gotten the motor too hot and i need ro replce it due to pistons knocking and a few other things... my question is what would it take to put a carb 350 in its place instead of a efi?

Answer
HI CLAY, WELL I AM  GLAD YOU ARE GOING THIS WAY AND NOT THE OTHER WAY..NEW WIRING HARNESS FROM IGN SWITCH TO THE NEW COIL. YOU GOING WITH HEI IGNITION OR POINTS ??? POINTS WILL BE EASIER. BUT EITHER WAY WILL WORK.  I WOULD GO ON LINE AND GET A WIRING DIAHGRAM TO CK THE WIRING FROM THE SWITCH OUT.. NEW FUEL TANK TO GET THE MANUAL FUEL PUMP TO SUCK FROM THE TANK.. UNLESS YOU GO WITH A LOW PRESSURE AND VOLUME ELECTRIC PUMP TO WORK WITH THE CARB. ALL YOU NEED IS 4 TO 6 LBS..YOU MAY HAVE TO DO SOME WIRING CHANGES TO THE STARTER AS WELL BUT OTHER THAN THAT I DO NOT SEE WHY THIS CHANGE WILL NOT WORK OK.. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT,GOOD LUCK ,,,TOM
