Me too, but not so simple when I had to do a fair bit of backyard mechanic work on the troll to keep it going, which I'm not complaining about at all. It's good to know the stuff that I've learnt over last couple of years or so.
However, if the vehicle originally came with EFI, I wouldn't have wanted go out of my way to search & pick a carby one though.

RB30 timing belt job isn't that bad IMO. It's a fairly quick and less hassle job comparing to many front wheel driven Japanese cars.
Timing belt is fairly cheap as well, so I changed mine, even though the old one looked pretty perfect.

The reason I wouldn't wanna get another RB30 is 'cos of hearing that a 4.8 GU has the same fuel economy as RB30.
Information I've been storing in my head about petrol GU's was complete opposite.
