Want to build a better mouse trap, using production parts

Hi all,
Background:
I have a 2.4L 911(6-cyl) engine that was originally a CIS fuel injected
motor. I am wanting to build a better mouse trap so....
Project outline:
Convert the CIS system to a updated closed loop system. I would like to
use as many off the self pieces I can. Intake can be the CIS throttle
body and intake runners. Machine the runners to accept a GM fuel
injector in a TPI application. I want to use, as many GM components as
possible do to the retaliative easy of acquiring them. Can I take a
system from say a 2.8 v6 and use the brain and sensors, and Let it adjust
the A/F ratio on its own via the OKS? This would also allow me to up the
engine to a 2.7L latter if I wished. I would love to be able to use the
ignition system if it is a direct coil arrangement, and would like to
bring this thing into 90's technology. I would like use a Cat or two,
and clean up this cars emissions a little, it is clean now, but since my
area is now Dyno testing, I don't want to fail. BTW, at least my area
there is no visual inspection, just a dyno run, with a pass or fail. I
have never failed but then there is always a first time.
The main reason I am thinking of this, is I saw a unit built by Claude
Buggies out in California, which uses a GM control unit from a Geo Storm
and a bunch of sensors which look like the units I have sitting around
the garage from a 4.3L install. Is this a relatively simple install? Am
I way off base here? And would I have to reprogram the E-prom in order
to do it? If the answer is yes, who would I talk to about doing such a
mortification? Allot of questions, but hopefully an easy one to answer.
TIA,
Stephen Jacobs
