It’s all going to boil down to what you really need & what you can do yourself.

I think it’s going to cost more than I would spend. (MO)
Have you looked at the TB units in the summit catalog? They look pretty nice & offer some adjustments to the fuel w/ direct bolt on.

that TBI conversion for $1100 looks pretty good ---- if you are pretty good with electronics, i'm sure you could roll your own with a TBI system off a junked truck for hundreds less though.

Holley may still make the 4 bbl Pro-Jection, but i'm not sure

I don't think I would do a throttle body injection. Maybe a TPI or a multi port edelbrock makes a decent kit. You also gotta think about if your current engine will run with fuel injection. If you have a knarly cam the chances are it's gonna be a pain in the ass to get it to run correctly.
