Carb'd 350 convert to EFI

What do I need to do to make this work? I think the block is from the 70s and is carbed and running in my buddies '83 Z28 (chevyrumble83), what is needed to make this work with EFI?

Car: Yes
Engine: Usually
Transmission: Sometimes
Axle/Gears: Behind me somewhere
An EFI setup would be a good start. That would include the intake, throttle body, sensors, fuel system, ECM, and wiring. Not too much else really. Of course, how well it would work, would depend on exactly what it is, like what cam it has in it above all; and your tuning skills.

Perhaps I worded the question wrong. I meant to ask what do I do about the sensors and such as this block never came with any of the ECM devices.

The only EFI sensor that goes in the block is/are the knock sensor and maybe the oil pressure sensor/switch and both of those will have provisions (KS being the blocks pass. drain plug). So as far as the block goes, nothing really needed to do or anything.

The rest of the sensors really depends on what intake and system you run.

LT1 intake

The motor will be put into a 87 GTA so all the wiring is there for the rest, I was just concerned about the engine block sensors.
