Well apparently this never went out last Friday...
so here's an attempt to resend it.

...have been investigating EFI for my LBC's for nearly a year now.
The easiest route is T.B's for a DCOE manifold config
as the manifolds are readily avail. for our toys.

TWM http://www.twminduction.com/Home/Home-FR.html
shows a kit that resembles twin ZS carbs with injectors
installed where the dashpot would be but as yet they don't
appear to have them on their web site... only in their
downloadable catalog I believe it was kit model 2701 or 
something like that. Would simply bolt right up to your
stock manifolds.

Jenvey  http://www.jenvey.co.uk/  makes the red powder 
coated twin throat (DCOE looking) throttle bodies sold 
by Lumenition and other such companies.

product_info&productID=15&prodCategoryID=5&search=

(that last line probably wrapped a line so just cut and paste it)

Personally, I've fallen in love the Puma Racing's units because
they are so short and are VERY price competitive and allow 
each bore to be 'tweaked'  separately 
http://members.aol.com/pumaracing/tb.htm  A complete 'hardware'
setup minus injectors, and an ECU is VERY competitively priced.

I do see a problem with this 'squirter' kit using a 2x bank firing system. 
Everything functionally relies on the accuracy of the stock distributor.
If you've a bit of wobble.... so too your injector firing symmetry.
With only two banks firing (since the system can't tell
with cyl is firing IE:  1 3 or 2  4    BOTH get gas squirts whether
it's the intake stroke or not!   Not good in my book.
But you can't use a 4 bank system without a crank or cam trigger
to know the actual phase of the engine cycle.  So... I have to assume
this is why they used a two bank system...it doesn't care..but it
seems a little 'fuelish' to me to squirt gas into the intake for a cyl.
when it's in its exhaust stroke.
