For a stock LT1, just have your TB rebuilt by Dave Koldos. He will rebuild it to better than OE specs using roller bearings on the shafts and increasing the bore size to 52mm.

For injectors you can just replace them with the Ford Motorports 24lb units, they are cheap and work well without any mods. The Dave Koldos special will be less than the cost of a new BBK and will be a better product in the end.
