fuel delivery

I have a 82 4 speed car and plan to install a 406 engine. Please help me decide what I should use for fuel delivery. Can't decide between fuel injection or carburation be it one, two or three carbs.

Thanks,
Bill

A couple of the hot rod mags did comparisons and they found the fuel injection to be more reliable, but the carbureter always yields more horse power and torque. Just what I read anyway. The difference in the numbers were not that far apart though. Depends on the rest of the set up.

750 mech.sec tuned right will be as dependable as injection. Love mine,two pats on the go pedal in 30 degree weather and she fires up with no hesitation.
