5.7 Vortec with a Qjet & HEI

I'm thinking about upgrading from the 305 to a 5.7 vortec.I have a donor vehicle 99 express van (frame roted). 5.7 4l60E 308 rears.Other than needing a low pressure fuel pump can I run the tried and true HEI and Qjet? How does a vortec run carbed vs keeping it fuel injected and transferring the computers and rewiring the car? I'm not racing I just want something more.
