actually, you can go to thier web site and download a copy of
thier 99 catalog, and in it they have listed just that,
replacement throttle body injector units that are bolt on
replacements for those carb setups. you will still have to add
a control unit and all the associated fuel lines and sensors,
but you can get replacement fuel injection with out much
fabrication. they also make similar units for weber carb
replacments. so you could have a fuel injection setup that
looks like a four barrel side draft weber setup. quite intense!
now, a spit with that setup would really scream! (if they wife
would only go for the ~$3000 price tag for that setup...:)
