Sorry if I'm asking old questions...

[tdkask]

Sorry, I'm sure I'm asking for info that is here somewhere, but it's all so spread out and like going down another rabbit hole when I begin...

My semi-local pull-you-own-part junkyard is doing an all-you-can-carry for $40 tomorrow, and though they don't have any axles I need or tranmissions I could use, It might be time for me to commit on a TBI conversion on my '80 Jeep CJ7.

But I need a little info to start...

I've read these links;

http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...ngine!-HOW-TO!
and many more on the internet, and even asked a couple questions here and there... but have a few unanswered issues.

First, I know that I shouldn't expect to get terrific results from a 5.7L TBI on my AMC 360 (5.9), but wonder if it's the best starting point, and will it at least drive "okay"?

Is the stock burn from a truck different from a car or van?

Should I consider a 454 donor (assuming there's even one in the junkyard) since my AMC 360 is mildly built (Comp Cams 260H and Edelbrock Performer intake)?

Is there some library of "known good" burns that have worked on other people's conversions? I.E.: "this worked on my AMC 360 with similar cam" ?

My goals are improved economy and reliability while maintaining or improving torque.

I plan to go to the salvage yard and rob every single component from a truck or van, and maybe 2 of everything. If nothing else, I will grab multiple throttle bodies, and maybe make my $40 back in the long run.

Any advice here so I don't need to invest a lot into software or burns (or completely learn GM computer programming) would be very appreciated, as I'm trying to keep to a small (practically nonexistent) budget here.

Thanks!
