fuel injection vs Carb

Ok so I think I have the flywheel thing worked out, just waiting to see if the PO can find the original.
So now thinking about fuel delivery.
This 360 is going in my CJ5.
It has a worn out 4bbl on it now (I think stock), so I'm going to replace it.
Just wondering if TBI/EFI is worth the extra $$$$ that it will need to make it work and what would be best.
Any help in this area would be appreciated.
Thanks

In your case I would go with a TBI.

Overall performance and fuel economy should be better with a TBI.

TBI is "wet manifold" and should not surrender any power to a carb set up.

Wet vs dry manifold does make for a compromise in full power racing situations.

I'm not a crazy 4 wheeler but it will be off road.
I'm thinking that TBI will beat the 8 to 10mpg that the old 304 was getting.
Even though it will be bigger CID.
Just hoping that it will be able to make it to the trail without running out of fuel before I get there.

Any suggestions on size or manufacturer?

The absolute cheapest way is to get the complete TBI off of a 350 TBI Chevy/GMC from 87-95. That's the throttle body, MAP/KNOCK/COOLANT TEMP sonsors, wiring harness, ECM, diagnostic connector, ignition module, etc... That should cover everything, but, I may have forgotten something. You don't need to use the knock sensor and ignition module, but, for best results, letting the ECM control ignition timing and knock retard would give best drivability. This had been a common swap, so finding info here or a JEEP form shouldn't be hard.

Yes, you could/should be able to put it together for less then the Fitech. Those TBI systems are pretty bullet proof. Most of those trucks still have factory MAP, TPS, IAC still in them. Throttle body itself is very simple to rebuild, and there are several injector sizes that can be used to tailor to your engines power level. Two limiting factors are; one, finding someone to tune it (MOATES sells/sold timing software to do it yourself), two, 4.3/5.0/5.7 TBI is only 490cfm. A 454 TBI can be used and is 670.

If you're running a fairly stock 360 a 350 setup might work fine as is. Anything more and you start playing with timing, fuel pressure, injector sizes. If that's the case, aftermarket efi is the winner.
