Ace23,
Some additional thoughts after breakfast.
First, the MPI (multiport injection) throttle body is shorter than the carb it replaced, possibly by as much as 1-1/4". The TBI (throttle body injection) units may be a bit taller than the MPI unit. Just something to check when figuring out overall height (manifold + throttle body + air cleaner). The shorter MPI unit allowed me to use a larger air filter than the carb did while keeping the same overall height.
Second, a kind of fun(?) thought - what about using two relatively small TBI units to simulate a dual four barrel carb setup? Most of the new EFI computers can control two TBI units. There aren't very many dual four barrel manifolds for the 385 series (maybe only one?) but I think there are several for the SBF.
Just trying to help you shovel out the cash ;-)
Tom
