Porsche Crest Thinking of going MSD

I've researched quite a bit on the MSD 6AL CD unit that I'm thinking of getting for my '78 3.0 engine. Right now my set-up is: Permatune CD unit with Bosch coil and regular black spark plug wires. So far, if I read correctly and get the MSD 6AL, I will have to additionally purchase:

1) MSD Blaster Coil
2) 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires
3) Tach adapter

I know that I will also need to do some wiring as well so:

1) Where is the starter located in the car and how easy is it to get to?
2) What brand of 8.5mm Spark Plugs would you suggest to get with the MSD set-up?

Lastly, should I avoid this project and just get a rebuilt Bosch CD unit?
Will I notice much of a difference between a new Bosh and an MSD set-up with a CIS 3.0 engine?

Also, what would be the estimated cost of this project (using new parts)?

Thanks.
