yeah my carby V6 is a 1987 I think, and has dizzy etc .....

if you can get a carby mounted to the engine then just run it spark only and remove the injectors and its wiring, and replace the fuel pump with a carby spec unit ?
keep the map sensor and TPS connected and it will use default values, you will need to sort out a few error codes, but spark only is totally possible, and if your putting a big cam in it you'll likely need to adjust the spark table....

yeah. flatten the top part of the V6 manifold.
plug the injector holes
ally weld a plate on the top and yeah and, mount a carb if you so feel inclined.
as has been suggested one of those 1000CFM quad throttle plates and injectors in it - with inbuilt TPS and IAC would be the go here ; with a big K&N round air filter - will look just like a carb version...

why block the injector holes? keep them and just run a 4 barre EFI throttle exactly like in the pic.

If you do go to carby you should note the vp doesnt run spark cut limiter so youll have no rev limiter.
