Default Can You Convert A 1994 502 Magnum To Carb?

found out my ecm was fried and costs 1800 bucks for a new one, can you convert a 1994 502 magnum to carburated? if so what intake is required and does the distributor need to be changed? let me know please.

Its not to hard to do, I did it on my motor, I have the complete 502 fuel injection set up with a good ecm im trying to get rid of...but anyway, yes the distribitor does need to be changed, I went with a thunderbolt 5 ignition. Intake is really up to your liking, I went with a dart highrise single plane, and a 850 holley carb.

Just get an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake and a Holley 800cfm Marine carb.
