That runs great! Very impressive! My only observation is that main unit looks awful. They would have been better off making it look like what it is, a fuel injection unit, not an obviously fake carburetor.

So it was $6250 for the parts?

Yes it was. I did a lot of unrelated work while waiting for the kit, like converting the front brakes to bendix style, adding thermostats that were missing and adding a line lock for hill holding, but the EFI project and labor I kept separate.
