I need input on fuel delivery.

Well, I've got a 305 TBI.
I will be swapping a rebuilt 350 shortblock from a 70s truck sometime soon.
This engine will be mildly built with Vortec heads, Comp XE268H cam, and Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap manifold.

I want to know which is the easiest way to fuel it.
I have a spare holley 670cfm and carb adapter in the garage.
I'm wondering if it's worth my time to find someone to burn me a PROM.
I definitely DON'T have time to learn myself (unless it's as easy as you people make it out to be).
I don't own a laptop, either.
I don't really WANT to swap to carb, but I will if it's easy...
Which it looks like it's not, considering i need an AFPR and distributor etc.
This car will be my daily driver with exception to the winter.

Here are some questions I have.
[b]1) What's the easiest method in my case to fuel my car?
2) Can I learn how to burn my own PROMs in a few days?
3) Will the car even run okay with a stock PROM or do I *have* to burn it?
4) I've heard two different stories with the stock dist... can you use it or not?


I'm stressed out over this. I want to get my swap ready and done with. Thanks.

cheapest and easiest thing to do would be to swap the induction system to the 350 along with all the sensers and computer controls.

how would it run though, with the stock ECM?

With the correct injectors (350 TBI Caprice or truck) and correct EPROM in the ECM, it should run just fine.
