360 Magnum Daily Driver (but fun too!!!)

I think throwing darts around that wanting EFI doesn’t make you a car guy is a bit harsh - that’s your opinion. From my side, I’m set on EFI for this project but for future builds that will not necessarily be the case. I drive this car on a 40 mile round trip to work, every day, including cold starts on winters mornings, I really want to try out EFI. I get and appreciate this might not be everybody’s preference but don’t feel this doesn’t make me a car guy. All the advice here is welcome and the vast majority is hugely useful (my shopping list will be posted here soon - for approval/debate LOL) - but it’s clear, in the majority of ways you slice it and dice it on this forum, everybody has many different opinions but I’d hope we’re all car folks, carb or EFI…!…

Sorry, but you misunderstood me. I never said wanting efi on your car doesn't make you a car guy. I said "if your on this forum you are a car guy" Meaning you probably have no problem tuning a carburetor once and awhile. If your like me, working on the car is just as enjoyable as driving it.
I was also getting at the fact that all factory EFI systems are truly amazing and reliable. If you could make one of those work like has been said ( off a 90's ram or van then great!) You would have no reliability issues. In the rare case you did parts are available everywhere.
The problem is the aftermarket systems. Even the "self tuning ones" usually benefit from someone dialing it in with a laptop. And if something happens to it parts will not be available at your local autoparts store.
