350-L98-Vortec head swap EFI question

Swapping out my L69 for a 350 build in my 1984 Recaro.

I was originally thinking of keeping the qjet but after some thought I am examining the options for fuel injection.

I understand that swapping over to EFI is probably going to run close to $3000 but if it gives me a smoother running engine, power in the 320hp range and keep the stock "look" with the functional hood scoop air cleaner, I may consider it...

So, my questions are as follows

1- will my stock air cleaner with the functional hood scoop still work with a TBI system?

2- what good options are there for this kind of setup?

Thanks!
Chuck

Depends on the height of the intake. Holley and Edel publishes that info on their TBI intakes.

Many. If you want FI I would strongly suggest port fuel. Intake height would apply.

I was able to purchase aluminum spacers with integral 0 rings at .50 inch for the air cleaner spacing from Jegs. I bet they could easily be machined.

you have so many kits now, MPFI, All these ez efi systems if you're in a situation where you don't need a stock appearing vehicle those are great options.
