Fuel injection or carb system

Purchased new '89 Super Duty 400--replaced with 460 (from RV)
Did not change factory installed computer--shelled left piston bank
Have rebuilt the 460--SO--is it feasible to go to a carb system or stay w/fuel injection(and????? expense of new computer?)

I would bet that the reason it shelled out that bank is because it was not running the right computer for the motor. You will probably get better gas milage with fuel injection.

Fuel injection is more reliable and better fuel milage, add a K&N filter too...
