Holley TBI installation is pretty straightforward other than the need for a return fuel line
What about say the TBI off a late 80's Mustang, T-Bird, etc? Just need the unit, electric pump, return line?

It's probably going to have little or no tunability, requiring tricking sensors if the stock tune doesn't suit the engine it's retrofitted to......and replacement parts could be a nightmare.

In an '87?
Put in a 2.9L. That's probably what it came with.
Screw TBI. It's a silly hack, somewhat better than a feedback carb (but not really better if you have to fake out the PCM).

No return line needed. Just recirculate.
