Unless you are already very familiar with the FI system, this can be a daunting 
task. It's something that I would do, but it's not an exercise for beginners 
just because there are so many parts and wires that it will take awhile to 
figure out what you still have as well as what you need.

Everything in the way of parts that you might need is available from people on 
this list. Engine builders generally only supply bare engines which still need 
you to bolt on whatever fuel parts you need. Given the bad experiences that 
people have had with most engine rebuilders I wouldn't even consider asking one 
of them to put together a complete type 3 FI engine for you. Even if they swore 
that they knew exactly what they were doing I wouldn't do it.  

Get a Bentley manual and study it. Find a FI car of the same year, or close, 
and study that, too.
