Dean, the 5Ltr with it's bluddy ugly intake manifold just does not do it for me. Given that you already have the 351 and obviously want some benefits of EFI then have a look here:

A system like this gives you all the ole traditional cobra charm of a carby set up but with the advantages of EFI. It uses a reprogramed ford ECM which saves you buying a Motec or Autronic or similar.
You can use whatever cam you want together with whatever heads you want so you can go mild to wild.
I'll send a PM with a number to contact me.

yep agree with the ugly manifold, but for me this car is all about making it as user friendly as possible, i want a nice car not neccasarily a fast car, been down that road too many times, i dont mind spending on the car, but i would rather pile bucks into a new trim, nicer paint and a fully upgrade on the suspension, i want a car that runs like a clock and drives like a new car. ive just jumped out of a big block 62 corvette, looked crazy, went like hell but drove lke a marsh mellow,thats why i sold it.
i want a refined roadster this time and for the virtually no spend i can go from 351 toploader to efi 5 litre , 5speed.
i can probably be talked out of the 302efi, but i reckon a efi car will be nicer car all day and if i want more grunt a supercharger is a simple upgrade.
the efi upgrade u suggested would probably be nice on the 351, but at $4k, dont really see the value.could have blown efi302 for similar money
