    I have fuel injected 350 and im going to a 350 with a carb. What will I have to do and what is best. Also this truck has turbo 350 tranny that is beefed up is that better than my 700r4?

    well its kind of a matter of opinion on rather FI or carb is better i would rather have the carb but the FI is much better if you want throttle response or just dont like a cold natured vehicle like the carb gives you lol. but if you do swap it over all you would have to do is swap the intake and drop a carb on her and you should be ready to roll. and as for the tranny i wouldnt give up that 350 for a 700r4 no matter what kinda deal i got. just my opinion though. hope i helped in some way or another, good luck
