Since the computer would need redone for the loss of EFI and to manage the transmission, I would stick with an EFI. What engine you have now? Although they make less HP from factory, the 4.8 can be hoped up well with a cam and some exhaust and be a fun toy. If you got the money a 6.0 would scream. Either way you go, carb engine or stick with EFI you'll be needing the computer and all reprogrammed.
