TBI conversion, any downside?
In my dreams, and if I were rich, I would by a 383HT and go crazy with fuel injection...
But in reality, I'm looking for a relatively simple upgrade to my tired 350 in my 72 K20 with an SM465. Is a TBI swap, either from a donor vehicle, or through affordablefuelinjection.com, or another vendor, or even an Edelbrock or Holley system worth it? I'm not looking for monster power, but rather a dependable daily driver with better cold starting and throttle response. Are there any downside to doing a TBI swap vs. keeping it carbureted? The only ones I can think of are the upfront costs, and the added complexity/more to go wrong of the engine. I currently run an Edelbrock Q-Jet with a performer manifold and HEI. It runs ok, but hates cold starting, and it isn't very smooth. For around $1000 give or take for each option, is it worth it? Looking for any and all advice/experience. Thank you !
