Coming out of another rebuild, my advice is to take the time to understand and articulate exactly what your goals are (e.g. HP, personality, usage). Then let someone like Steve lay out options for you. These cars have been around for 30+ years and there are lots of ways to modify them - not all being good options.

I'm building a car very similar to the one you have in mind, but I'm starting off with Montronic engine management from a 3.2 Carrera. I ultimately would like a 3.4L street/track weapon running ITBs and aftermarket engine management. However, I'm stepping into it by getting the long block into a position where it'll work great with either Motronic or ITBs & aftermarket EFI. This allows me to drive the car sooner, spend less now and ultimately determine whether I really do want to go ITBs with aftermarket EFI down the road.

That's just my example of how to enjoy the car sooner, move in the right direction of your goals and not break the bank. Good luck and enjoy!
