Help with planning a build

My car is a 77 S with a 78 3.0l engine in it. It has Euro heads in it with electromotive crank fire and twin plug, and I believe 964 cams in it and SSI added recently.

I was toying around with old Carbs/ EFI and I'm leaning towards EFI with PMO's.

I'm leaning towards EFI because I already have twin plugs and Euro heads with higher compression and electromotive in there.

Really from what I have been reading the only thing I lack is EFI ecu and the throttle bodies.

I would appreciate any suggestions on my build,

Of course when that gets done, I will need better brakes and more tire, but such is life. The next phase would be rear carrera flares and turbo brakes and 7x16, 8x16 fuchs.

I would suggest spending more time driving and less time working on it. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Very much agree.

If you "Must" do something then invest in a pair of PMO 40mm carburetors and you'll never need anything else for it. I've done dozens of cars with PMOs and setups similar to what you have over the past couple of years. . . It works. (several on my instagram page)

EFI is nice but it's just additional expense for not much more.

The Rasant EFI with PMO setup would be amazing. Do it!

I appreciate the responses.

I have been looking more into ECUs and EFI and my goodness that seems like a pita.

I think driving the car and just enjoy it is where I'm headed for now.

New plan, put a wevo short shifter in it, and see how that new electric air conditioning kit works out.

Makes sense to work on the stuff first that makes the car more comfortable and fun to drive while still keeping it on the road.

What would you know Soyracer!

Jk, saw your instagram page great work. Carbs seem like they would be very straightforward, EFI seems cool but a total PITA after looking at it more.
