I am new here, but from engine perspective, the fuel injection stuff is more complicated to get setup, but most modern shops/companies are used to dealing with it by now. You need different fuel pump, lines, bung for o2 sensor, that sort of thing. But saying you can have older engine and make it MPInjection. I think they have to be base lined and setup with a data table to run on until they go into closed-loop mode (where fuel mix is determined by the o2 sensor and other sensors). That's about the extent of my knowledge and some of it maybe wrong, but you get the idea. I have seen a cobra that had a velocity stack sort of MPI setup and the guy was running it and it sounded incredible. Crisp, and monster powerful sound.

But a modern engine like a Coyote that was designed specifically for FI seems to me make more sense. Plus they are aluminum blocks and less weight on the nose of the car. MPG if that matters, would be higher I'd imagine.

Buddy has a car collection, and the carb cars - well they act like it. They dry out in week or less, and get hard to start. They gum up, especially on modern gas. They run crappy generally until warm. They can get vapor-lock in hot temps.

I know you would likely spend $$ more on a FI car than a carb car all things added in (fuel tank/pump, tuning, wiring, etc) but it would act like a modern car in terms of driveability. Seen some awesome C2 corvettes that have a modern chassis under them and all new gauges set in the original gauge cluster, etc. But cost on them is well north of six figures.
