    Dump EFI for Carburetor?

    if you can find one the marine version of the vortec used an aluminum intake with external injectors and rails holley and edelbrock also makes vortec EFI intakes. you will have to get rails and external injectors for them though here is a picture of a marine vortec intake next to a truck intake
