Here is an interesting website about customizing an ECU for any car (and obviously this post is in respect to JH).  http://www.megasquirt.info/  This company offers you boards and processors to basicly make electronic fuel injection (among other things) from the ground up.  It's really quite ingenious.  I go to the Georgia Institute of Technology (Ramblin Wreck type) and the SAE racing club uses this system on their BMW 325e race car and it is absolutely amazing.  Take a look at this site and see what you all think.  The weber/dellorto manifold is designed to accept port fuel injectors.  Once you had the board, processor, and software to tune it; all you need from there is the easy stuff:  the mechanical.  This would be a throttle body w/ MAP sensor, fuel injectors, rail, and camshaft position sensor.
I suppose the most difficult parts of the system would be to fashion an airbox and figure out a way to put on a honda/mitsubishi/toyota cam position sensor.
If you aren't afraid of some computer science (code written in C) and mechanical engineering, this would be really nice.  It sure beats the hell out of ANY carburetors and throttle body injection (which isnt a whole lot better).
