I'm working on getting ready to try my hands on the weber swap. I've been doing my homework but was hoping someone can look over my plan and make sure I'm getting the right things.
 

I have a 1984 GL 1800 EA81. It had the carter/weber stock carb and intake.
 

I am looking for an intake from a hitachi EA81 and am ready to buy one.
 

I am planning to buy the Redline kit with the 32/36 DGEV carb.
 

I have considered doing SPFI and also considered buying the carb swap components separately to save a few bucks. Since this is the largest mechanical undertaking I've planned to date, I intend to stick with the redline carb swap kit. I've been reading lots of weber swap posts on this forum but don't think I understand it all yet but I have been encourage by lots of posters that a novice can do it. As my wife says "Just point your skis downhill."

I guess my main concern is:
 

DGEV vs DGV

Is one easier than the other?

Is one correct and the other incorrect?

Pros/Cons of one vs the other?

 

Thanks for taking the time to read.

If you want to retain the factory electric choke setup, you want the DGEV
