Technology wise, I agree. EFI is far superior...but it all depends on what he wants out of the truck. If he's already got a carb then the price would be comparable. If I had a '47 I would stick with the EFI for the novelty of it. They're becoming commonplace in 67-72's though which is why I'm putting together a carb 5.3L for my truck. I like 'em both.
