Darren, if you're interested in the GM approach (should save you some
$$$), then get a TBI system from a 4.3.  They shouldn't be hard to find,
almost every S-10 from late 88 on has one. Also Astro vans, and maybe
some full size pickups?  Anyway, it doesn't get more bolt on than that. 
No reason to use the 3.8 and worry about tuning and stuff.  Also get the
service manual from whatever vehicle donates the EFI parts, that'll help
with wiring.
