Because all of the 1980-1990 omnis are listed on the same line you are allowed to update/backdate assemblies as desired, provided you update the complete assembly. In this case you would need the engine/wiring/computer as an assembly.
As a comparison, I put a Weber on my 2.2 Charger motor which required a custom adaptor plate, quite a bit of tuning and modification to the standard "race" Weber 32/36 settings and it still can not match the smooth consistent operation of a FI motor.
