'62 SWB Transplant: Carbed Crate 350SB & 700R4 or Used Injected 350SB/700R4 Combo?

[Vincenthdfan]

Hello all.

I have a really nice '62 SWB C10 that I bought out of Redding California.

It has the original tired 283 V8 in it with a transplanted T5 tranny.

I'd like to put a 350 in it with a 700R4 behind it but I have a decision to make.

I found a used '92 Injected 350 with a mounted 700R4 behind it...it has 103,000 miles on the combo and it was a service vehicle with regular, documented maintenance available with it. Cost, an even $1000 for the pair.

My original plan was to keep it simple...

A brand new Crate 350 shipped to my door for $1500 and a refurbished, updated 700R4 shipped to my door for $1500 as well.

This would obviously be a lot easier swap with minimal wiring, carb, etc...

Which would be the preferable route to go here?

Would the injected motor be much better drivability wise?

Fuel mileage be better on the injected motor or is that just a matter of a good tune on the carb/timing, etc?

I'd like to hear from those that have been there, done that...input please!

Thanks in advance.
