GMPP 350, no FI?

I was looking at this 350 and SDPC site and it says it cant be used with fuel injection. Couldnt you convert to TPI easily? or would you run into computer problems. can somebody straighten this out for me? also theres another 350 there for Caprices that they list as a common replacement for the 350s in thridgen f bodies. whats the difference? Sorry if my questions are stupid but im trying to learn. thanks!
Heres the engine

It actually says "not intended".

That's a Vortec-headed engine. The base for TPI alone cost around $400. You have to plumb exhaust up from the headers to the intake for the EGR valve because the Vortec heads don't have cross-over passages.

You'd be better off with the Caprice engine.
