Taking the motor out is the easy part, unless of course the new one is carbuerated, then you don't need to mess with a wiring harness on anything like that. But none the less, congrats.

I personally would go with the carb, the TBI would probably do alright, but I've heard the stock TPI has trouble with a high performance motor
