opinions needed regarding available EFI for a small block

Hey fellas, I have been beating my brains and chasing demons trying to find a way to inject my 360. I was leaning towards factory Magnum beer barrel efi, sure seems like the hard way. However when it breaks it can be repaired with parts from any auto store. Recently I have been more and more intrigued by the aftermarket and the various all in one throttle bodies...ie MSD, Fast, Holley etc. I really want to just be able to turn the key and have it light up with in a half revolution, and compensate for altitude etc. I just want the modern driving experience fairy tale in my 71 Duster. Anybody have experience ether way with any of these set ups and advise? Thanks, Dan

I'm going to tell you if you're interested in ease and reliability go with the factory EFI setup from a magnum motor. It just takes a few relay and keyed on power source to have it running. I've successfully wired both OBD1 (pre'96) and OBD2 ('96-03) engines into my '74 duster for the last 5 years. I would be happy to answer questions about the process or the magnum engines/electronics. There are tuning options available for the OBD2, which makes it the more desirable of the two if you're planning to modify the engine. For my OBD2 setup I'm also running the factory 4speed AOD transmission.
