A carb conversion to the TBI engine would require an electric fuel pump.

wow if the block had not been drilled it's not the original or it had been filled, I have pulled multipul SBC out of 89 to 93 chevys anr converted them to carb, also the cam is a aftermarket, probably a rv cam the ctock ones did not havr a lobe on them for the fule pump

Original unmodified untouched standard bore block. No signs of welding or epoxy. All the roller cam lifter valley stands and the cam retainer plate holes were not drilled either. I have seen this quite often on the truck engines that had flat tappet cams in them. Maybe 30% I have seen are drilled for the roller cam stuff.

The cam could be aftermarket as this engine had rebuilt heads on it when I got it so it is possible they upgraded the cam too. There are no stamping or part number marks on it at all though to know for sure. It came out of an 89 Suburban.

that should be a 94 or newer block then if it has rollers and was not machined for them which would explain the lack of the hole, 89-92 still used flat tappit lifters in them

89 block with factory flat tappet cam. I drilled it for the roller cam lifter valley retaining bolts and the cam retainer plate bolts so I could install the Vortec truck roller cam setup I am going to run in it.

I took the inline out today. also welded in all the stake pockets on the bed. I was thinking about the ac unit out of the 89 , will that work in my truck? Thanks steve

It's possible the firewall forward part will fit but I highly doubt any of the under dash or control sections from the 1500 will fit a square body.

Aftermarket under dash assembly used with the factory 1500 compressor, engine mount brackets & condenser would be your best bet.
