Thanks, I will pass on your compliments to Marc.

I prefer not to share the exact cost. Each conversion is always different.

As I have mentioned the cost of labour here in the west is considerably more than in India. An hour of a car mechanics time will cost Euro 100-150. Marc also installed a 123 electronic ignition. (https://123ignition.com/products/)

On average these conversion takes 2-3 days, so 16-24 hours. It’s not just putting the carbs on, it is also removing everything from the Bosch injection system, which includes sensors and wiring loom, evap-kit and so on. Modify the camshaft advance etc etc.

I choose Weber carbs. You won’t find them under Euro 500 a piece.

So as a very rough guide, depending on the car and what kind of kit you get installed anywhere between Euro 3500 - 7000.

But you really need to get a quote for each conversion and decide on your requirements. It can vary a lot, but it won’t be cheap ever!

Thanks for the approximate cost breakup.

Along with the right quality parts, one also needs a competent pair of hands and brain to work with the parts. And Marc looks like he is definitely one based on the interactions that you have shared with him! The kind of support he has provided for the job done on the spider is remarkable. He really knows his stuff and has high work ethics, which is hard to find in automobile service industry, at least in India!
