Keep us informed as you go!  Sounds like fun.
 
I can never get the thought of doing an EFI out of my head, no matter how hard I try.  So far I’ve managed to keep it on the way back burner but it could rear its ugly head at any moment.
 
I originally looked at stuff like TWM’s throttle bodies but seeing the factory Esprit EFI manifold was an epiphany.  I’m sure you can find them used for a whole lot less than new throttle bodies, they have nice long individual runs for better low/mid torque, they already have port injector bosses built in so there’s no messing with modifying a carb manifold and they have a single throttle body inlet – no synchronizing (you can do this with Del or Strom manifolds too if you build an inlet plenum).
 
Next question; is the electrical system up to running a high pressure fuel pump plus injectors plus everything else at idle with the lights on?  If not, there’s another project.  And while we’re at it might as well throw in a multidimensional mapped crank triggered ignition and…..
