Nah, not an auto elec, just do engine conversions for something to do :D

Oh and wreck rangies sometimes to ;)

It'd get a general neaten up with haveing to do the engine harness, but you won;t get a complete rewire

Yea, can do a tidy up, but don't have enough gear, nor the inclination for a full rewire, plus its a waste of coin :D

Got a rear bar and wheel carrier, $300

Can make snorkels, but probably only do that if you want the engine stuff done, as I'd rather have the car to fit it etc, probably around $200, plus need to hook to motor, dependant on what motor it'll vary, but only a bit of flex pipe :D

Snorkel looks like this

IMHO, overall, EFI is still more reliable over the long haul than a carby, even with all the electronics.
