This is correct. In truth, the best strategy may be to buy a complete engine and sell off the long block. It'll be cheaper. And hey, you'll have a carb setup to put on it!

MFI tuning is a lost art in many markets. Plus, not only does the pump often need rebuilding, but the throttle shaft wear has to be fixed and that's a 4-figure job.
