almost any engine can be converted to efi. if the systems that are available today were available in the 30s-60s they wouldn't have hesitated to use them back then. when you think about it pretty much every production car since the 80's has come with efi, its hardly rocket science.
i love old classics and understand they should be kept as is but why put an out of date old hat engine in what is essentially a new car especially when it is going to cost more than a modern better engine. i dont see where the nostalgia is in this scenario the pinto was never used in a production 7. if you want proper nostalgia build it with a flat head side valve or a coventry climax like the old proper pre caterham 7's used to have.
