Hello all. I currently am running a 75 corvette 350 with a th350 in my 75 k5. I eventually would like to convert to fuel injection and was curious what's involved? I tried searching for the answers but I get too much and it's gets confusing. All I'm looking for is the easiest way to go about this. My truck is a dd and mud truck as well but nothing too serious (lack of funds unfortunately) so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone take care
 
How much do you want to spend?
The easiest way to get EFI, is an aftermarket EFI system. They come with their own wireing/ manifold/parts/adapters. Most are a fairly simple bolt on install with simple wireing needed. Depending on which kind you buy. You will pay $1000-$4000
Holley, Edelbrock, Accel, & FAST EFI, all make systems that will work for you
OR
You can get a stock GM TBI (Throttle body injection) or TPI (Tuned port injection) system and wireing harness from a doner vehicle. It is usually cheaper than aftermarket systems but more work.
You will be doing a lot of wireing, adapting and need a chip burned to your engine specs. Or a tuneable ECM for your engine management which will add to the cost.
A stock TBI conversion will be around $500 or so after everything is done.
TPI is a better system but usually will cost more unless you find a good deal on the whole system.

Holley is susposed to be coming out with a new system called Avenger EFI. They will have both TBI and multi port systems. The TBI system is a direct bolt on to a 4 barrel square bore manifold and self tuneing. Susposed to easy to install and plug and play. I imagine a Avenger TBI system that supports up to 400 hp will be around $1600
