How hard to switch from carb to TBI?

What all will i need other than a throttle body and a electric fuel pump? Will I need a computer and a distributor and could i use a after market 4barrel throttle body such as holley with the stock TBI computer?
Thanks

Accel makes a complete TBI kit for around $1300, it comes with all the sensors, the computer, wiring harnesses, TB, fuel pump & filter, etc. You might wanna check into it. I've seen it in Jegs, and Accel's catalog that can be downloaded from their homepage. It flows 750 cfm.

Can get OEM TBI stuff from a junkyard for $500... Why pay $1300 for TBI??? Plus, to tune it properly, you need the software (about $200) and a computer and some patience...
