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
