Bill Tierney was saying that he knows of a guy who supposedly put a
crate motor adapted to EFI in his 4x4. (Ram, I think.) I've never
actually seen it myself, but I'm hoping he shows up at the track
someday; I'd like to see that.

Check out the MP Catalog. I'm pretty sure it says they're Magnum engines
in there. 300 and 380 "Magnum" crate motors. They're also selling a
Magnum short block now too.

Mopar Performance is doing that now, so you don't have to worry about drilling
bosses for the injectors any more. Its called the MPI manifold, and its basically
the EFI version of the M1 single plane. Its a 4-barrel manifold, but it comes
with an adapter plate so that the stock 2 barrel TBI can be used.
They were supposed to be out by now; I think Frank H. is checking on their
current status.
