Complicate? It's becoming less complex by taking the EFI crap off it. What's more simple than an engine, two carbs, a fuel line and a dizzy? Zetecs preform pretty good on carbs, that's why people use them. I'd go for carbs over ITBs as I know it can be done at half the cost at the outset. Debatably the car would be more fuel efficent on ITBs due to the engine management but why follow everyone else down the same path?

Just to price things up......

seen on http://www.americanv8engines.co.uk mega squirt for ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100 brand new.

Also on ebay i saw a few inlet manifolds for zetec for around ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100, Which will take gsxr 750 t/b's. Think they are just under ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£300. Also need fuel rail and injectors, but dunno which one's or how much? cheers
