Why Carb and non OD a Gen 3?

I’m as old school as they come. I’ve been resistant to FI and electronically controlled motors for a long time. About a year ago I bought a blown up(valve seat) 2008 5.7 hemi for $125. I tore it down and rebuilt it. I’ve educated myself about these motors with books and YouTube videos. I find all the technology in them very interesting, VVT and and the intakes that change their runner length-cool stuff! I’m putting this motor in a 96 2wd std. cab Dakota. I’m going with Holley for the intake and controller. Going with a 46re transmission. I’ve since bought a complete 2006 jeep commander with a 5.7(ran and drove) for $200. I pulled the motor and it’s in my shop now waiting for it forever home.
