Default Jeep Injection SBC Swap

I have a 350 SBC sitting around which makes me lean that way for an engine swap in my 98 XJ. However, I don’t want to deal with carburetor. Would it be a completely stupid idea to drop the 350 in the jeep AND convert it to injection? Obviously it would be more difficult but I didn’t know how much more trouble the injection conversion would cause

Swapping over to a Holley sniper system would be really straight forward. I have done about 4 of them now and love it.

Did you go with a PDM module or do it without?

The PDMs are cool. I would use it. Makes wiring look a lot cleaner. I have gone both routes and both ended up fine.
