If you're really looking for the advantages of EFI, I think multiport is still the way to go.

You also need to do a certain amount of plumbing and fuel tank modifications (EFI engines don't like interruptions in fuel supply).

I'm a big fan of EFI (have it on my SBC), but think that some of the "shortcuts" may compromise a little too much for not a big monetary savings.

Now a true self tuning multiport system? I'm all over that!
I guess my next question would be, would it still run properly with the "switch-over"? Sounds like you said about the EFI not liking the interruptions in fuel supply. Thanks for the info!!!
