Affordable Fuel Injection Kits

Has anyone had any experience with these kits? Im looking to convert my 2.8 to TBI. I know i can find a used setup from an S-10 or the like but im trying to see what all my options are. Ive got time to make this decision since my exhaust is getting replaced first (its not in good shape....).

Thanks

Why not go straight to MPFI? Shouldn't be any more difficult.

I would get all the hard parts from a junk yard, maybe get a tbi wiring harness from painless. The prices on the are pretty cheap.

Any advantages to MPFI that make it more worthwhile? Cost? Etc.

I was gonna do TBI simply because of cost, its pretty simple, its better than just a carb setup, and i want to use it with a pizza box style intake setup.

Im not looking to do much if any internal work on the engine so im trying to avoid anything thats overkill. At the most ill be running a turbo at some point.

As far as going to a junkyard, i know thats porbably the cheapest option but i dont have the time, space, or knowledge for that right now. Not to say it isnt something ill do later on.

Re: Affordable Fuel Injection Kits

Hello third genners. I am also hoping to go this route with my 305. The carb just took a dump on me, and I'm pretty sure my ecm is fried. Does anyone have prev experience with some type of conversion kit?
If I could even get some advice on what to grab at a junkyard to do it myself, I actually do have the time. Any help would be great, thanks guys.
