Default Converting 2.8 carb to TBI

Anyone know what it takes? I'm moving in about a month to AL, and the 1500 mile drive, much of it through mountainous terrain, is going to suck otherwise. I could use the extra torque and fuel economy. Is it a tough job?

I know I'm going to have to swap the intake, wiring harnesses and computers, and I suspect some of the vacuum stuff will leave to never return, but if anyone could give me pointers, that'd be great.

I think that will pretty much cover it.
The intake should have ports for the sensors. 02 sensor can be added to the exhaust. Fuel pump in the tank, the mechanical one wont push enough gas.
