Carby v8 would be easier but injected would be good also, injected 5 litre with a crane 286 would be good for a high 12 or just wack some Vn heads on your 308 that's already in the car and put a decent size cam 236-240 @50, 4000 converter and a torque power dual plane and 750dp carby and would also run 12's.. All depends how much coin you have

Converting to injected is so easy I did an injected 5 litre a few years back into a vl Calais, you only have to powerup a few wires and will run straight away, you will need a vl rb30 injected fuel tank for the lines and return line and a trans mount everything else is piss easy

You could just full manual your box! But you would still need a Vn loom...

If it's factory V8 go carby, otherwise injected is the way to go IMO
