TBI.........cost, availability...........Not exactly the most powerful, but reliable and easy to fix.
TPI is SWEET and has torque LOW in the powerband. A little more complex and more expensive (unless you come up with a junk motor--only available in Camaro, Firebird, and Corvette) typically. There were two types, Mass-Air and Speed density. The cutoff was '88, I believe and I think Speed Density would be the newer system. The Mass-air is slightly easier to wire, but I don't think it's very significant..........

I've heard good things about this kit from holley. it isn't the Pro-jection, it is more of a universal kit.

I would go tbi for cost reason, way cheaper than tpi.... I know I sent this link to you before, this is the guy I would deal with if I decided to go injection...http://www.customefis.com/

propane would be the cheapest, easiest, route especially if you came across an old system, I do know where there is one sitting, I'll talk to him on a price for you the next time I see him, his wife is making me a soft top for the scout after christmas...

Projection can work well if you do a few tricks and play with it a little. I finally got mine DIALED. I got mine cheap from a friend who was tired of trying to make it work.
BUT, if I had the $$ I would use the Howell TBI. Easy, idiot proof, reliable, and reasonable $$. For bigger motors they use a Holley throttle body too.
Propane is easy and also pretty idiot proof. Not near the electricle stuff.
Word of caution. Most EFI problems stem from wiring a new computer in old wiring. Most old wiring systems are not up to the demands of computers. BOTH power and grounds have to be clean and sound. COMPLETE ground loops will eliminate headaches. Grounding everthing in a loop is redundent, but trust me, it is worth it!!
There is a TON of cool stuff out there, I would love to do a set up with the customizable megasquirt computer. Just depends on how involved you want it to get.

IMO the propane is not a good choice for a family wheeler. It is just too much storage for a four seater. I like propane, and in a two seater it would be sweet.

And where you gonna get it filled? Most places will want a certification on the tank. I know about the multi setup, it is way cool. but you gotta find a 2 gallon tank.Shawn said:

richard at http://www.propanecarbs.com/ said he could get any type of tank made... thought about getting one made to fit where my gastank is, but I like the multifuel concept..
