worth it to go from non-cc qjet to CC'd?

since i have a canadian car, i do not have a cc carb..

i will most likely be building an L98 to replace the LG4 in the future.

would it be good to:

a) keep the non-cc qjet?
b) find a computer / cc qjet / cc distributor?
c) swap to fuel injection?

i want good fuel economy and good performance..

What you have should work fine with minor tuning.

Consider how many miles you'd have to drive to break even with fuel savings vs. cost of conversion. You're probably looking several years down the road.

I'm glad the Canadian cars have no computer!

Another vote for keeping your non-cc Qjet and putting a 350 underneath it.
