Carb to TBI conversion options.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I searched a little through the website with no luck so here goes. I am looking into converting my '85 burb from the factory carb to TBI fuel injection from an '89 C1500 I have. Question I have is, does anyone make an intake to adapt the throttle body to the older heads? Can I have a stock 87-95 intake machined to fit the older heads? I know the center intake bolts are at different angle. Or, can I just use a adapter plate like this....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TBI-C...Q5fAccessories What about the other sensors that are on the factory TBI intake? What ones do I need to keep?

The engine I have on my burb is almost new and I do want to swap heads to make it work and I don't think I need to but just need some options.
