Default Need info changing from Carbed to Injected?

Here the question:

I currently have a 454 Mag 1991 Carbed.

Would like to make it fuel injected, have a connection to a fuel injection system off of a 1996 502 Mag EFI(includes fuel system/wire harness/ecu/ignition/manifold, basically everything)

would this be somewhat a direct bolt on to my current engine, and would it run correctly? Is it worth the effort? Would I expect to see any HP gains?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

See my post here:

My answer would be no, it's not worth the effort. Especially if you've never done it before. It will drive you nuts and not give you any better results than a proper carb.

Having said that, if you just want to do it for the learning experience, then good luck. It'll be a neat project. Let us know how it comes out.
