Default Easiest way - converting 502 to EFI

Standard 502 Merc. Do they make a top end conversion kit with the computer, harness, injectors, etc from the newer 502 MPIs to essentially convert the 502 to a 502 MPI?

If not, piece together yourself and control with a Big Stuff or the like?

What would you say is the easiest/most cost effective method of converting? Thanks!

I believe cams are different. Besides with all the problems others are having with EFI I would go with a good single plane intake, holley carb and HEI distributor. Think about having the MPI programed and running perfect after the Swap.
Just my 2¢.

I have 2 100% complete Cutler systems from a 1993 Baja. One has a bad ECM. Bob Lloyd at Full throttle Performance has an ECM. Had I known he had this before I converted back to carbs, my Dad would have kept the system. $1200 for all. These are 100% complete, including wire harness, fuel pumps, and manuals.
