Nobody was talking about downdraft Webers, but rather DCO/DCOE sidedrafts. Entirely different beasties, and very pricey.

I like SUs fine, but would not swap properly working injection for them.

To convert a D-jet system to MegaSquirt is in the $500-$750 range. In comparison, I recently converted a customer's catastrophically done Weber downdraft setup on a B20 to SUs. Carb cores, rebuilding, manifold, heatshield, linkage, air cleaners and a proper choke cable rig came to well over $800, and I thought those were entirely fair prices.
