It's been done - at least once. A chap named Gary Polled had a business up
in Santa Barbara called TWM (The Weber Man). He started out specializing in
Weber conversions, developed a conversion for the late Bs but was never able
to get CARB to approve it. Then he went on and developed a variety of fuel
injection systems, one of which was for the MGB. Again, no CARB (California
Air Resources Board, for you 49 staters) approval.
Apparently it worked very well but the setup would cost around $2,000
(that's why I never tried it!). If you are interested in more details, call
Colin Kennedy at Moss Motors. He worked with Gary in the development of the
fuel injection systems for MGBs.
