I don't know that I specifically recommend a carb, but that stock intake has to go. It depends on what you have and what you want. If you currently have a 3.1 with EFI, you could probably modify the edelbrock intake with injector bungs, then put some kind of TB on the carb flange. For the greatest ease, I might suggest a carb, but if you are master EFI tuner, go that route. The problem is, none of the factory EFI for the later V6s is very "hackable." You could use an earlier 727 ECU from a truck and reprogram it, but at that point you're completely custom anyway, might as well just get an aftermarket EFI setup. You also have to consider how you're going to control the spark. They were computer controlled. If you keep the stock injector hardware, you can control spark, but you'll have a heck of a time tuning it.

The carb would be ultimately simple. You would need a 300-350 CFM carb, and any of the dualjets from Rochester should be a good choice. Holley makes some nice 2bbls, but they are usually intended for race and are a little more difficult to tune.
