Or paying someone a ton of cash in labour to do the swap.

Yep I can do it, no issues, just looking for best option.

Are you sure your injectors are causing problems and nothing else?

It is a bit of process of elimination. The car was misbehaving after the engine got REALLY hot, but that has been fixed with new regulator and I also put my old factory pump back in, in place of the walbro (which had done 150,000kms). Power delivery is so much better and more consistent with the factory pump, so I suspect the walbro was on its way out? Drives flawless once its started.
The only issue I'm getting now is extended cranking at start up. 80% of the time it will take 4-6 cranks (used to do it in 1-2), 20% of the time it starts first go. It starts up 100% of the time though.
Injectors are next on the list to look at. Given the engine is nearly 300k, they are due for a service regardless anyway.
If that doesn't work, its off to the professionals
