Default Repower Carb to EFI questions

I have a 98 velocity that I bought with no engine harness or anything. a couple years ago I built a 454 and got a harness ten pin or something like that. Last year I bought a 502 that came complete, intake to pan was just pulled from a 38 Scarab, It seems to be 100% complete. The boat I have came with this engine stock so the stock boat harness should plug directly into it and it should provide power to everything?

So 1st ? is will my boat harness plug into this engine and work? (I can get pictures)

2nd ? I had a holley blue on boat to feed carbed engine. do I just remove that and plug the fuel line directly to filter housing or do I need a lift pump or something?

I have a thousand more ?s just need to get past these hurdles first. Ill get pics in a couple hrs.

1. yes, plug the cannon plug from the boat to the plug on the engine

If I am reading this right. You are going from a carbed 454 to a 502 EFI. A Holley blue will not work with EFI, you won't just need a regulator you will need 25 PSI more fuel pressure. If this is the case you have more than a thousand questions.

He didn't mention EFI.

Hopefully he mentions 1000 things before the 1000 questions ?

Even a VST 502mag would just be a matter of plugging the tank line into the fuel/water sep.
