    Don't use the manifolds, just use the long block. As long as your existing carbed manifold fits the head, there's no reason to convert to fuel injection, unless you really feel the need.

    If you do want to switch to PGM-FI, there is a how-to on this site that walks you though it. It's not for the faint of heart, and it requires a different fuel tank, an additional fuel line, a different engine wiring harness, a different chassis harness, and of course a new computer. There are several other major things I've left out, but the how-to covers them all quite well.

    You can use the manifolds from an A20A on the A16A. The head ports are the same. This makes an easy EFI conversion.

    A20A gaskets:

    A16A gaskets:

    You can see they're the same
