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

Another thing to consider is the location where the car will be registered. I am not 100% sure, but I think an MOT in the UK requires that all the emissions components are functioning. The rest of the EU is probably the same, as they have some strict emissions laws.

I don't know which side that will come down on, but if this is a conversion from a four with fuel injection, it may not be legal to run carbs on it.

I would suggest doing some detailed research on this before making a decision on which fuel system to use.

Great point!
So with permission, I'll start a new thread on relocating/registering a older US car in the EU. I have already been in contact with several members here who are contemplating a similar car shipment. I have some done some research and it could stir up some more...
