craig_midz:

TwoSheds:
And selling the things you don't need (ECU & AFM) will probably pay for the things you do  :dance:

Bulli:
hmmm, yes it is that easy but...

what carbs are you wanting to run?

Holley are good at high lean angles but nothing works anywhere nearly as well as fuel injection at extremes.

you will also find that when you go downhill the engine will run away quite quickly....can be a little scary

if i were you unless you have major issues with your current set up I would keep it. You will never get a V8 to run well in deep water anyway ;)

DonH:
Got a recent quote from RPi to do just the same thing;

£735 for carbs and manifold and cables.
£60 for low pressure fuel pump.

Humm.....
