Some people mentioned going with a V-8. I picked up my 5.7L chevy TBI for $550 with everything. but then you need to add in all the conversion parts. If you want more power then it is worth it no doubt. If you want your rig to just run good and not worry on the trail then get the EFI/TBI kit!

$800 for Fuel injection is not that bad. From everything you have said it seems like the Downey kit is the way to go! Downey is great to work with. They helped me a lot over the phone when I did the conversion. I have seen many rigs on the trail stall out with carbs because of off-camber situations and altitude issues. Never had an issue with fuel injection. Mace is right TBI is awesome. Simple and easy! It is basically a fuel injected carb.

Good luck!
