Tim,
If you really mean that it will be "used as a street car" and not a
show car, it would be so much cheaper and easier to build a TR5
replica. Start with a TR4a, add a TR6 motor, different badging,
and Bob's your Uncle. In fact, there is a TR6 on eBay right now
with a TR4a shell. Add injection, stir and voila, instant TR5!
The injection bits are everywhere, just not in the US. You can
source them in Oz and the UK, using 2000 and 2500 saloons as
donors.
I've no experience with Lucas injection, but I have heard many
times that once set up and with a decent fuel pump, they are
smooth and reliable.
