Heads - they may have the thread tapped there, or there may just be a boss you drill and tap yourself. I did the latter. GS&F do complete heads of reasonable quality (I think mine had VW cast in). FI parts may be available in the UK, but I doubt GS&F can supply them - I've not had to do it. You could try Jane Terry 01303840241, or maybe Bill Jennings (Hereford) 01989-564244 (always at the shows with a autojumble table and 50s/60s radios!). aircooled.net might be as easy as anywhere, as USA was more into FI Type 3s. The FI tank is necessary (must be RHD scrapper for RHD car) - it has a special housing around the feed and return outlet which ensures performance is still OK with a nearly empty tank. Pump relay is near the fusebox on the right-hand inner wing (RHD). I'm not sure why you're choosing to change from carbs (were they stock 32PDSIT-2/3?). There are good things to say for both systems, but I don't think you will get a significant performance improvement. Dave.
