Seeking opinions on an idea... SPICA Convert?

[Miller,Brad]

EEECK!!!

 From my Weber Carb book - that setup is really expensive (Spica) and 
 worth a lot of money in unmolested form.  I'd go get a Weber 
 conversion kit (for now) to run the car, that'll give you the 
 manifolds and other necessary components.  Then I'd go get a fuel 
 injection setup based upon the Weber's.  I think there are numerous 
 systems which use the same style throttle bodies and just add the 
 injectors.   I don't have my handy book here to remember which 
 companies have the stuff you need.  All in all, I'd go the simple 
 (albeit bruteforce) method.  From what the Weber book says, those 
 systems were great when they were in top shape, but as they 
 deteriorated performance suffered.  The Webers would at least give you 
 back performance and a high degree of tuning.  I'm just now cutting my 
 teeth on them and I love 'em.  (Webers).  I find it hard to work on FI 
 setups without knowing all the basics, and the Webers give me all the 
 nitty gritty basics.


<*>Thus, my idea.  I'd use the Spica manifold, replace the mechanical injectors
<*>with EFI injectors, tack on a throttle position sensor, a 
 temperature sensor,
<*>and a lead off the tach into some kind of simple box running in open loop
<*>mode.  In your opinions, is this feasable.  If so, any ideas as to
<*>difficulty?  Any suggestions for improvements?
