EFI swap for LG4 OEM 4bbl????

Not sure if I posted in right place or not....

I'm tossing around around swapping out the electronic 4bbl on my daughters 85 z28. I'm thinking more about drivability and not performance.


Thoughts?
Suggestions?


Any ideas what's involved?

Truthfully, if it was a stock car and you wanted reliable I'd probably just do an AFB (edelbrock) carb and call it a day. I have one on my Stingray and it's as reliable as my 2012 GMC. That car sat in storage for 8 years, and it started right up and drove around town no problem after putting fresh fuel in it.

If you really want to go EFI, I'd probably look at one of the 4bbl TBI units on the market. Almost everyone makes one now, some with electronics some without.
