Has anyone ever installed fuel injector boss' in a head rather than the
intake manifold?
I don't mean to inject directly into the combustion chamber but rather in
the intake port on a head with a
particularly long and contorted passage.
Would the injector get too hot? If installed so it penetrated the cooling
jacket, and was obviously water tight,
would that provide enough cooling or would it simply heat soak the injector
and cause it to fail prematurely?
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Since this is very much a do-it-yourself group I figure someone here has at
least contemplated doing this and
either rejected it for some reason or tried to make a go of it.
Thanks.

Hi John
I saw a press release where a car manufacture is actually injecting directly
into the combustion chamber and it is EFI, not mechanical. Volumetric
efficiency and fuel economy is the motivating force.
Diesels of course have been injecting into the combustion chambers for years
but they are mechanical.
