Conversion Pros & Cons

G'day, all.
My "mighty" 4AFC is still going, but the smell of change is in the air. I keep reminding myself that the 'Rolla (AE92) was bought as a runabout, but the bogan inside can't resist 
I'm never one to go with the crowd, and, while I like the power/torque seduction of a GZE, I was thinking of going the modified AGE-route, thus incurring fewer insurance & conversion hassles, etc....when saying AGE, I mean the Billzilla style mods, 260 cams, etc..this'll also give me the time (and money!) to build the engine separately, while still getting the last legs out of the AFC.
Anyhow, given mine is carby at the mo', can I build a carby AGE, and still be within engineering approvals? Also, what are the forseeable difficulties in this conversion? For example, I'd like to keep PS and AC....
In the end, it may well be a waste of time, but I'd like some input, especially from those in the know.
Cheers,
Rick

hey
i am likely going with twin 4ac carbs on a blue top.
i'm finding guys are too crazy for the gts parts, so i'll make up a manifold, and buy another carb for eight bucks.
...same for all the other stuff, use 4ac parts...so cheap.
needed-
larger low pressure fuel line.
not much ...plug the injector holes...
i can machine a plug to loctite in there,,, should be o.k.
...and i should be getting alot more power, with the tvis gone,
the two small holes open into one giant oval... i will get more fuel
in there.
a custom intake lets you take FULL advantage of the engine,,...
imho- heads are designed for fuel economy, not performance...
there is alot of room out there....if so inclined...
