TBI is fuel injection 
You can always covert to multi port (TPI, Stealthram, miniram, tunnel ram or any other system with the word ram in it
).

Man the swaps are pretty straight forward. If you want to swap to TPI that is pretty easy. You can usually get the entire setup for under 500 bucks on ebay and don't for get about the fuel pump.

I have run a TPI on a slightly modified TBI harness and 7747 ECM. Its called prom tuning. The edelbrock MPFI conversion .bin file for a 7747 works almost perfect after a little tweaking!

You'll need an ECM, harness and all the accessories for the intake.
I'd recommend the stealth ram, extremely easy to install compared to most others.
