Won a new motor from e-bay auction!!!!

I placed the highest bid for a 375hp 4-bolt 350 from e-bay the other day.I planned on going with a 383,but I found this 350 and placed the highest bid of only $1625 for a COMPLETE,unfired 350 with a one year/unlimited mileage warranty.So this will be going in my car this weekend. Here's my tech question: It comes with a Carter 750 carb and Power Plus high rise single plane manifold. I want to put my fuel injection back on later,but what will I need besides a bigger tbi unit,fuel pump,chip,and different manifold? Or should I just keep the new motor carb and switch on a dual plane manifold(since it is my daily driver)?

keep the carb set-up...TRUST ME!!! Did the new motor come w/ distributor? If it did then you're OK but the one u have now won't cut it due to F.I. vs carb issues(adavnce, etc)

convert it to fuel injection, after youve studied it extensively, so you can burn your own chips, and wire it all in right. o, and when you have a lot of time and an extra car.

leave it carb, put on a dual plane like you assumed. it will take a lot less time to get running, unless you already burn your own chips and know efi well.
