Default going from carbs to EFi

i own a mk5 2.0 cortina , currently running on the Weber 32/36 DGAV, next year i will be doing a complete respray of the car so Engine Loom etc. will be removed.
as i am thinking to convert her to injection, me and my dad think the best way is to buy a 2.0i sierra, strip that down take the engine, loom, fuel tk etc out of that and put into my cortina after respray.
is this the best way? or are their any easier and or cheaper Alternatives?
cheers

My dads next door neighbour also has a mk5(?) tina, a V reg one, that is his everyday car running a 32/36 and he's still on points!!
Your idea sounds the best option, though I doubt very much the tank would fit ?, pipes could easily be welded to a tina tank though, only two needed one around 3/4" to feed the injection pump, then a return, for which you could use your original feed pipe.
Just be sure to get the engine loom with the donor car, there's only around 4-6 wires to hook into the tina's wiring to get going.
He's also put a 5 speed box in his car, it split another hose at the weekend, 2nd one in about 3 weeks, though all original and 31 years old!!
