Dan,
  There was a guy in the Oxnard, CA. area named Dave who put the 5.0 with 
factory injection into an Alpine.  It was a clean build, but he basically 
had little metal in the center of the firewall above the trans tunnel.  It 
also precluded the stock heater location being used. The only way the engine 
went in/out was from the bottom and there wasn't a chance of getting the 
plenum or the heads off - in the car.

  I haven't seen him or the car in the past 5 years or so.  Last I asked he 
was going to tear it all apart to "finish it right."  I'm not sure if anyone 
on the list knows the guy.  I recall Jay Laifman saying he talked to him at 
the Thousand Oaks, CA  Pep Boys (where he had worked), but again he is long 
gone from there.

Regards, Tom
