I would recommend finding a Bosch K-Jetronic CIS system from a
1977 - 1984 VW car.  This is really a bullet proof design, fairly simple
to install and fairly self contained.  I bought a complete manifold,
throttle body, fuel flowmeter/distributor, and electronics module for
less than $200 used.  The added fuel punp and accumulator may add another
$100.

The worst part of the installation is the fuel pump circuit (but 
this is true of all EFI setups).  The next tricky feature would
be drilling your stock manifold for the injectors.  Bosch has
some good publications on their systems which would give you an
idea of what you need.
