For me its I want the driveability simplicity whatever you want to call it of EFI

And lets face it if you want to go EFI on a SBC its not cheap compared to what you can pick up a drop out motor for

That is the most reasonable route for sure just not the support that other stuff has

It is one route I am considering for about 900 I can get a setup that is stand alone based on the original tbi setup. But most people can get a complete ls dropout engine for even less than that

If I could do one myself that would be optimum just don't really know how or where tonstart
