   depends on what bodies hes giving you.
   
   You will almost certainly need a new inlet manifold then the standalone ecu + mapping.

   there carbs mate will still need an inlet making up, the cardbs will probs need re-jetting and balancing plus you ill need to run a dizzy set up, and a cam and some head work wouldnt be a bad idea

   oh and you will idealy need a rolloing road session to gat the carbs set up/fine tuned, a new mani and straight through exhast wouldnt be a bad idea, with that and them set up right id say 140-150bhp would be acheivable

   Don't fit carbs when you can buy itb kits that are fuel injected and for better cold starting

   Injection tuning is far more efficient in all temperatures over carbs

    The engine/box would cost circa 8-10k to build to my spec with the same bodies and manifold/exhaust, ecu etc...
