that sounds like a good option but you would get more performance and tune-ability with a carb instead of 87 tbi. i would say run a carb until you can save the money for an aftermarket fuel injection setup.

my build thread
I'm not really looking for performance considering the donor truck has 281,000 miles on it.. , I'm looking for more reliability then anything. But I've been thinking about that to, considering it might be a little easier..

I have talked to my dad, and have decided that I will be putting an aftermarket intake to run a carb on the vortec engine.
