I was just pointing out that you had asked for opinions. If it's opinions with a reason, then it boils down to one word, 'drivability' for me. Some will say a carb can be tuned for good drivability, but not over the long haul like EFI. Changes in altitude and weather do have an affect on a carb whether people like to admit it or not.

If it's looks you are after, then do as Mongo did, and look up some of the threads he posted about. I did the same thing Jonathan (Dayj1) did on my wagon. It worked out great. The thread is a little long, but there's pics of almost all of the conversion using the stock DBW throttle body. https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...-wagon-12.html
