well.........if its a 13b carb motor then you dont have to switch to efi and it will be a simple swap. if the 13b your looking at still has the factory fuel injection then you need the wiring and ecu. if both are carb i would go for the 13b assuming it isnt high mileage

200 bones for a stock 12a? FOOOOEY! better be more like 50.00 the answer to this question depends on how much work you plan to do. swapping to a 13b will require some modification.. altho nothing crazy. how good are you under the hood of your 7?

13b carb? stock?

EFI swap is not easy unless you plan on removing the dash from a parts car (GSL-SE) and getting the front harness and installing it into your 82, easier way out is a aftermarket carb setup.

this all comes down to how good you are are working the wrench tho.
