Going off of what Damkid said, I believe he means that we'll need a way to drive the mechanical fuel pump..?

    I'm not quite sure. What exactly am I missing, and what would need to be done to make this successful?
    If your planning on running the EFI then you will need an electric fuel pump. A mechanical pump won't provide high enough fuel pressure for the EFI.

      Would an electronic fuel pump also require different fuel lines to accommodate?

      And, to modify the Aspire EFI engine to the carborator wouldn't actually require much effort, if I hear everyone correctly?

      Sorry for the constant yes or no questions; just trying to be completely informed before making a purchase.

        Yes the easiest way to swap the aspire engine in your car would be to swap the manifolds from the festiva engine onto the aspire and keep it carbed.
        -93' L BP swap/e-series, coilovers, RIO front swap, redrilled festy drums, Miata 14" 7 spokes.
        -88' Mazda 323 SE, work in progress..
        -85' Nissan Sentra 5 spd.
