Dan,
I ran a Hilborn EFI set-up on a small block in a Cobra. They are very streetable when tuned. I sold the car a couple of years ago but got an e-mail from the new owner recently telling me how much he loved the car and syste. At that point it's been on the car for about 2 1/2 years.
Unless you can find a used system, figure on $4500 to $5500 to do one of these. I didn't use a factory computer; FAST, Holley, or Accel Gen VII would work great. Hardest part is getting the vacuum lines run as since it's an individual runner set-up and has no common plenum, you need to tap into each port for each individual vacuum source you need. I had three lines per port, two hidden under the manifold and one on top. I needed one for the map sensor (which shouldn't be shared with anything else), one for idle air control, and one for pcv/power brakes.
Here's a pic of my setup:
