As everyone says, with head work, different cam, and hell, while you're at it, bump up the displacement - carbs get more HP. Jake Raby's motors are more than proof of that. But it isn't cheap, and there are other disadvantages - higher fuel consumption, higher emissions, difficult or impossible to pass smog visual tests, loss of low-end torque, cold start problems, increased susceptibility to vapor lock, and general durability issues. When you add up all the up front and hidden costs, it's often much cheaper to repair your existing FI system (check my web pages below for information). Make sure to understand all of the issues before going to carbs. I've owned both carbed and FI motors, both are great, but different.
