Oh dear god!

To spell out the points I've made plainly:

1) The cheapest option is keeping the standard injection, if you're in any way handy its free.

2) I wouldnt choose carbs unless there is some specific reason for doing so, in this case period looks. I think the anglia looks great, I said so above. If this is whats needed for the project than its the obvious choice and the information is in this thread

3) If youre ignoring the options of a plenum intake with a single tb or a single carb on runners then starting with a bare engine I'd never choose 45s over TBs as the cost is the same however you choose to mock it up. Your price for injectors is mental, as is the fuel pump and filter, ecu etc! Either base both on new prices, or on secondhand, but for a 190bhp TB zetec its more like:

To go injection

Mtech V4 - £450 (Ignition only module was half that)

Injectors £ 20 quid a set + 40 cleaning = 60

Fuel Rail £80

Pressure Regulator (cossie webber) £25

High Pressure Pump & Filter (vauxhall cavalier external and generic factors metal cased filter) £25

Lift Pump & Swirl Pot (personally wouldnt bother, just avoid running it on fumes).

Throttle bodies themselves £450

Inlet Manifold £95

Total Cost £1185

And that's ignoring bike tbs as that wouldnt be fair with you budgeting for webbers over bike carbs!!

PS, whats supplying fuel to your carbs? you just removed the old block with the mech injection pump attached.....
