You are going to need an aftermarket ECU which are not cheap. I am deciding whether to carb or EFI my next engine. If I go efi it will use an aftermarket ecu with custom rails/intake and a 4 barrel TB like GMCJunkietwo suggested. I also HIGHLY suggest you break in an engine with a carb, then go to EFI unless you are an efi tuning god. Your engine will thank you for it. I have spent a LOT of time tuning with a FAST ecu and gotta admit its just plain cool. $1800usd for the ecu though. And the O2 sensor is about $450usd if it fails (has to be matched to the ECU). THats the only part I dont like about it.
