It isn't that hard to do. There are several companies that have stand alone EFI systems you can bolt on in place of a carb... I have experience with FAST and FiTech... I like the way FAST systems look, I like the ease of adjust ability of the FiTech system... Running a FiTech on my 489 Big block, starts in the winter and runs great all year. You will have to look them up and decide what system you think will work best for your application!

That's assuming he want's to replace a carb with FI on an older motor,the way I read his post is he's asking about a newer motor like an LS conversion.
How about it OP,what exactly are you wanting to do?
LS conversions are very popular these days,great power to weight ratio and excellent gas mileage compared to an earlier gen motor.
There are stand alone systems for conversions these days and some swap kits for motor and trans mounting.
Here's a good site you may want to check out.
