You're not going to like this.  That combination doesn't exist. ; ) 
The only vehicle I show with that engine in that year is the step van
chassis (P2, P3), and it's got a 1 bbl carb.  I looked at 88 and found
a 4.8 R,V truck.  It's 1 bbl carb'ed.  I think 1/2 ton vehicles were
subject to CA emissions (more stringent, more likely to have better
fuel system) and larger ones weren't.
Also, there's no TBI 3.8 that I know of.  Seriously, look into the TBI
from the Jeep I6, and GM ECM for control.  I think this is what Jason
Weir did.  He's got some stuff up on the web.
