The only real weak link in the 3550 is the mainshaft, It will take a ton more abuse than the T5 though.

Also, if he's wanting to daily drive this, he's going to enjoy the better fuel econoimy of the EFI and its ability to adapt to weather changes... not to mention, the added low-end torque you get from injection. If you're old-school afriad of EFI, (and don't have the desire to learn) then yes, go with a carb... otherwise, stick with the technology that is going to net you better resullts with very little increase in cost.

The 3550 is merely an early model TKO with a 28-spline outpuit shaft. It should last just fine behind an N/A Windsor.

Other than a set of injectors and a tuner, what else increases the price of EFI over carb?

If you do it correctly then it will cost a lot.I recently finished up my carb swap and i wanted to do it right.here is a list of the parts i put on my car for the swap.you guys do the math BG400 Fuel Pump..$425.00 (2)BG 2 Port regulators $100 each (2)Fuel Filters...$50 each Parker Funnelweb Intake & porting to match heads $500 Demon 750 carb...$600 Sumped fuel tank...$150 -12 feed line from tank to pump to regulator & fittings..$250 -8 lines from regulators to carb&nitrous solenoid...$100 Dist for carb...$100 Misc parts...$100 Granted I have enough fuel system to support 1500hpBut I wanted it done right. The people who say it's cheaper are fools.they are the guys who go to VatoZone and buy a $20 fuel pump and a $50 flea market carb.

mine is the second gen 3550 with the 29 input and 31 spline output. but it isnt the new stuff it is like a 99 to 01 trans from what the serial number said. and yeah if i do the 351 i will stay fuel injected for the fuel economy since it will me a more daily driver than at the track. and all i have to do is get a set of 36s for about 200 and a lower intake for about another 200 and make the fuel rail fit and thats it. so i think 400 compared to like 700-800 to stay efi is a hell of a lot cheaper.

The tko2 also had an upgraded case from the original tko correct?

I am not sure, I know that the case on the 3550 and TKO were upgraded at some point. Dale has a later 3550 than mine and the cases are different but the TKO2 also had steel shift forks.
