Not really, intake is $600 and four new carbs are $13-1400. So only around $2k for the main components- just need linkage, filters, and fuel lines to be complete. Way cheaper than 8 stack EFI with 100% of the performance. Other than cold start ups, the IR intake/Dellorto carbs on my VW run as smooth as the LS2 in my sisters TBSS and have 1000x better throttle response. The two minutes of running smooth at start up isn't worth spending 2k+ more for EFI. It's an old truck, it's supposed to have some quirks!

I'm going to make my own linkage and the filter will be in the hood... Going to make an air box in the hood to seal down on the carbs.
