Mostly true about the TBI, but on a long engine like the AMC six port injection means you have even fuel distribution and wear. #1 and #6 will still run leanest with a TBI, with only the middle two really "right" or close to it. Plus you can pick up a 4.0L intake, throttle body, and exhaust manifold cheap at the SY. If you have to fab the intake it's a different story (like with the AMC V-8, which also doesn't have that much of an even fuel distribution problem).

I believe it could be put together quite reasonably using Ebay or JY parts.  For that matter, you can probably buy them reconditioned/new at Kragen's/Autozone/Advance Auto easily and within budget as well.
