Thinking of going fuel injection

Well i am building a 12a MFR PP engine and i am considering fuel injection. What i am wondering is which way is cheapest and most effective. I am considering the mega squirt way, or mechanical fuel injection. what i am wondering is with each which way will be the cheapest and also what would i need to buy to get the mega squirt system to work on a 12a, thanks,Mike

A custom mechanical EFI must be a heck of a lot cheaper in Canada than it is in the US. What does something like that cost in your area?

it still costs alot lol but i have a bit of stuff laying around to build it so it would just be expensive instead of insane, i am mostly considering the mega squirt , it seems fairly simple other then the confusing wierding ordering guide, do you actually end up buying part of the megasquirt system from one company and the other half from another but off the same website??, I would like to use the mega squirt because i can build a custom manifold and use a bunhc of 5.0 mustange injectors

man, dont be crazy. carburators are wonderful machines, if coin is a problem buy a 600 cfm holley (reman. 200$), an intake from someone on this forum (150$), and premix. thats how a 1G should be done. or something like that. F*** fuel injection

Stop before you hurt yourself. He clearly stated that he has a Peripheral Port engine, there is no way he could or would want to run a Holley on it. Besides the obvious fact that a Holley is a 4-barrel and the PP engine has only 2 ports to feed, they also aren't known for performing under heaving cornering loads.

P.S. I'm going megasquirt on my 12A with a set of motorcycle throttle bodies. My only worries are how to make the tank pick-up not suck air, I may go with a swirl-pot.
