I've seen it done. you need a manifold. Gas mileage isn't better either. But it's cheap and relatively easy to tune. you need lat least a 600 CFM carb. More if you are ported. But you could also opt for a Demon Carb.

I had a friend who swapped back and forth "twice" using a RB intake and holley 650 (and an edelbrock 650) vs the s4 efi. The edelbrock was way better than the holley, but the efi ran smoother and produced better fuel economy. Power difference was neglible (it had a header & exhaust), might have been better had the engine had some porting though. For the money, buy a wet 50 shot of nitrous instead and you'll be happier.
