Aftermarket electronic throttle body injection (TBI) conversion?
These have been available for 15-20 years so the market is mature and the technology proven.
I haven't explored the market for quite a few years. So, due to your question, I did a quick survey last night. It looks like the market has slimmed down to several of the more capable companies, with marginal companies dropping by the wayside.

Sounds very interesting but i think it's not cheap.
Prices start a little over $700USD for basic units and go upwards as units increase in features and sophistication, based on my quick survey. (Sophistication in terms of what the units do rather than effort required by the consumer.)

Do you have more informations about it?
Yes, but it'll take several of my lengthy posts. For starters, read this Wikipedia Fuel Injection article. I didn't see anything in the article that contradicted what I already know and gained some new information and insight. (Sometimes I encounter information that dispels misconceptions I had ... it didn't occur in this case.)

What i need is a bullet proof engine for travelling.
Presumably, that's everyone's goal. However, it's noteworthy that you choose to state it explicitly. (Personally, I see this as an indication of greater potential for success.)

This car is exotic here in Europe and I have to solve every problem on my own.
This is a common problem for anyone who owns a motorhome, especially older ones. Many, many parts stores in the U.S. will give you a blank look if you mention motorhome or tell you they don't carry motorhome parts. (Never mind that there is essentially no difference between CB300/MB300 motorhomes and B300 vans.)
Likewise, repair shops that are willing -- and only charge standard rates -- to work on B300 vans either refuse to work on motorhomes or charge significantly higher rates for the same type of work.
So, you're not alone.
