Quick Install: EFI on Any Older Pickup - PickupTrucks.com
I had a early model 88' Silverado sb 2wd with a TBI 350. It was simple to work on and reliable. The truck had a lot of new gadgetry for the time and gradually became a headache after a decade of use. The TBI on these trucks weren't a whole lot different than a carb setup. Fords EFI at the time was definitely a better use use fuel injection but the TBI GM's were simplicity at its best. Otherwise its nothing terribly impressive or super advanced given the number of after market MPFI kits for these motors floating around at similar price levels, and lets face it, if you are doing this kind of swap you can probably get it tuned... But a carb can be changed in a matter of 10 minutes,rejetted for more power ect. Though ,efi is good for a powerful engine when you floor it,take your foot off right away,when your front end raises (splashes fuel around in the bowl of the carb) such as with my 68 Charger 440 that is 96. 99% stock low 12 second 1/4 mile car... 002 seconds or bog worst case stall,but a guy knowing how to work with carbs can easily overcome that issue,as I did.
