Thanks for all the advice gentleman

This car will only be used for street driving, and will never be raced.

In regards to the automatic transmission, I have a little bit of a knee issue but I also want to cruise in the car without the need for manual shifting.

In regards to carbureted versus EFI, I was initially going to go for EFI (because I wanted less smell in my garage) until I was told the difference in smell between the two is nearly negligible nowadays and the carbureted engines are just as reliable without the need for tinkering (I would not be changing altitudes and the weather in Los Angeles never gets too hot or too cold).

The engine would be professionally installed and tuned, so I just wanted to see if you guys thought that if I would be better off with carbureted vs. EFI or whether you think the end result in drivability would be the same
