A properly adjusted carb will be just as efficient as fuel injection. The advantage of fuel injection is that it makes the adjustments for you. I'm adding cats to mine to keep the exhaust clean. And as far as driving it anywhere, I went across the country with my Blazer long before I decided to replace the engine.
I get it, everyone wants what's new, but the advantages have to outweigh the costs for me, and I haven't seen that. Bottom line - do what makes you happy; it's your truck.

I did... There's a reason not a single car is made with a carb anymore, and it's not simplicity and cost savings. I also don't own a tube TV anymore either.
I understand gearing and mentioned I also put in a 4L80E therefore adjusting the gearing. I didn't do an engine swap for better highway speed.
