I thought about this when they did that carb crate motor on Overhauling. The carb swap might make the LSx swap easier to do in stages. If you already have a proper carb setup, what do you need, an intake & that spark box setup? Both of which I think could be easy to sell later. So you do the physical conversion stuff first (mounts, exhaust, accessories, etc.) now and maybe do EFI later & related parts (air intake, etc.). Just a thought.

Everything I have read shows that on the same engine (you can’t compare apples & oranges), a properly tuned carb will run within +/-1% of an EFI setup. But IMO, EFI is nicer because it can adjust itself for conditions (humidity, bad gas, etc.) more precisely. But there is also something nice about the simple look of a carb. To each his own.
