355 carb to FI...what do i need?
So right now I have a 355 completely carbed without any computer involvement in an 83 z28. I was pondering what I would need to go to fuel injection. Would a computer from a 350 have the proper parameters for fuel and such for a 355 also? Or would that not work? I know I would need the computer, ecu, knock sensor, intake manifold, intake, fuel injectors, fuel rail....am I missing anything? Also new fuel pump and fuel lines possibly.
All input is welcome, thanks.

You would also need a fuel return line going back to the tank in addition to all of the things mentioned. Your best bet is to find a complete fuel injection system in the junk yard to get everything. If you get one off a 305, you will probably need bigger injectors; and you will need a new knock sensor because the 305 and 350 are diffferent, and the knock sensors won't interchange and work.
