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 ;-)

I don't think I will be going for anything to crazy and I am about 99% sure I will stay with the Dart SBF setup I currently have. FAST said they provide an edelbrock MPI manifold in their kit but they didn't tell me which manifold it was. First things first I'm looking to identify a tuner. You would think that being in the same town as FAST that there would be a local tuner thet would recommend bu that doesn't seem to be the case. The nearest tuner that was recommended was about 200 miles away in Birmingham Alabama.
