Thoughts on Putting in a 350 Crate Engine with 408 HP

Thoughts? Would this be an easy swap? What else do I need, new computer or just a new chip? What about anything for the engine it's self? Do I have to replace anything like the rear end? I'm rather new to the whole project car thing so any help would be appreciated.

Remove all of you computer, including wires and main ecm. Put TPI on shelf in your garage or sell it to buy recommended carb for this motor.

no take all that out, a carb is intended to be used on this motor as most crates
easier to tune with a carb. carbs are just as good as fuel injection. i only favor carb for the ease of tune. if ppl are going to start the fi vs carb bullshit just look at top motorsports, majority use carbs.
whatever route u take enjoy and have fun =]
