v8 convertion questions

I got this 87 rx-7, the 13b is ready to die and im thinking about just dropping in a small block chevy. A/C doesnt work, for some odd reason the blower wont turn on. My p/s pump is shot, as is the exhaust system, the interior is crappy. So I was thinking of the swap using grannysspeedshop.com stuff.

Now if I use a carburated engine what stuff would I end up throwing out?

ECU? Dash Wiring Harness?

Anyone?

You will get a LOT more help on www.torquecentral.com
and not get bashed in the head for asking questions.
To answer your question, you would keep both unless you planned to replace all the guages , lights etc.
Hopes this helps.
