Vortec Carb

I'm looking to swap a 96-99 5.7 vortec truck engine into my k5 blazer, its a 305 carb at the moment.

From what I think I know is i just have to plug the injector holes, replace intake and put a carb on it and adjust the fuel to air ratio. Other than that is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks,
Timinsk

If you replace the intake, there aren't any injector holes to plug.

The only other thing you're missing is a K5 isn't a 3rd gen f-body.
