It certainly would be the most cost effective route to take to put your carb and HEI on the vortec motor. You will be amazed at the power it will have as well. It will cost a good amount to go with a EFI setup and you will need a tank or a pump to pump the high pressures needed for the engine to run as well as other expensive things that you don't already have. check with some of the LS conversion guys and see what they are spending, it will cost you close to the same money. The lone exceptions will be that the motor mounts will already work and a few of the traditional 350 v-8 things like that
