MFI or carbs? Options

[bossboy302]

Sorry for re-asking this, but as I begin fiddling with mechanical and electrical components for my project 6 conversion, I am still pondering this decision.

The car, when finished, will be shipped to Europe where my wife and I can use it when we're there, and do some rallies, trips and such. There will likely be (months-long) periods of no use.

Have most of the necessary stuff for the build, (included with the '71E motor-entire MFI, fuel filter/console, complete electrical board, fuel pump, etc) all from 'donor' car...

But I'm beginning to sense that the complexity of MFI (transducers, fuel system, micro-switches, etc.) could prove challenging. A good set of PMO's on the other hand: basic fuel pump and regulator, MSD 6AL, and a spray can of ether may be better suited, again given the intended use.

So, I welcome thoughts and opinions-thanks

Add in a fuel shutoff (look at the 356) so when you park it, turn off the fuel and let the car run till it dies.
This empties the carbs of fuel and gives you a better chance to keep the carbs clean in between each use.

I’m in 100% agreement on carbs .
You can fix them, and get parts, pretty much everywhere.
MFI will get you a lot of puzzled looks.

I’m thinking a lot like you, and building something similar to send abroad…..
