And when you give a quote on a system its not just a carb and intake but all those other small incidentals that will add up very quickly you need to quote.
I didn't say you were wrong about tuning a carb, I said its more than just turning a screw, Sure some people may have troubles tuning a chip I found it very easy, And tuning a chip you can get a better tune for the engines whole operating range than you could ever do with a non computerized engine. even if its just a batch fire system,
And I believe I gave a good alternative that would be close to the same price as your carb swap maybe even cheaper. Yes it is still batch fired and not SFI , And I sure it will out flow that little intake that will choke the OPs engine, Remember with a carb and intake swap, you have to look at the engine and what will work best for its combo. What you picked out would be great for a stock 350 engine.

Just because the block is mostly the same doesn't mean switching from EFI to carb is trivial. I wouldn't say it's difficult per se, but for someone who needs to ask the question... I'd say it's a lot more involved than comments like yours suggest. You still have to control throttle valve cables, fuel pumps, fans, torque converter lockups, and so on. All minor, but switching from an EFI car or even a computer controlled carb car to an analog carburetor setup has a lot of domino consequences throughout the car that need to be addressed. It's not the "easy" option, it's the cheap option, and it's not even that cheap.
