Which you cant legally do, it has to retain the emission controls that the engine originally came with.

im pretty sure as long as you dont put in an engine with an emission compliance older than the chassis. I dont think it matters if you change from injection to carby as long as the carby setup is newer than the chassis. I have been known to be wrong in the past...

The ADRA laws states that you can't go backwards, ie put a 69 motor in a 73 model but you can go forward and put a 82 motor into a 64 car. Therefore your allowed to improve but can't go to a lower standard than what was around at the time.
It's the same as XB 6cyl can have a V8 put in cause they came out with V8's, but putting a V8 into a XP needs to be Engineered cause they never came out with a V8
