Default Should i stay Carburated?

So i have a 93 mustang gt clone with a 86' 5.0 that is carburated. I was wondering do you guys think i should stay with a carburated system or upgrade it to a fuel injection system? Inputs would help! thanks

keep the carb.. ditch the 86 motor... carbs give more power and are easier to work on but you lose throttle responce and mileage.. i like carbed better than fuel inj.

so the car is actually an 83¿ **** yeah keep it carbd. take that ugly front clip off and find yourself a proper 4 eye. the 86 came with some pretty ****ty heads, the engine is an upgrade from an 83 tho, being a roller cam motor. also with a carb you might want to look into a longtube setup for the exhaust.

ya this car has so many diff. years on it. Its registered as a 83 on insurance but on vin it shows a 93 and then the engine is a 86! but the heads are changed so are the cams the exhaust manifold and the pistons. also swiched to studs
