Don't know if any of you are interested, but I e-mailed NOS (Holley) today about the direct injection kit. Basically I asked for some simple dimesions and took a shot in the dark and asked about duratec fitment. I'll let you know what they say when they return my e-mail.

Well here is the beautifully in-depth answer from NOS..... The injectors and fuel rails will be raised about 1 inch.
Thanks, NOS tech dept.
So I guess someone will have to be the guinea pig and see what happens...

The top of the fuel rail will be a problem. Angle of the upper injector mount.
Clearence should be ok, it comes up between the the front and back runners, but there is a wire harness on top of the rail to deal with.

How about getting someone to manufacture a phoelinic (sp?) spacer to make clearance between the fuel rail and the upper manifold? Result would not only add the appropriate clearance but also keep the intake charge a bit cooler.
Been keeping my eyes on this kit. Dont think I'll put down $1300 for a kit until I knew it fit underneath the upper intake.
But man oh man....the power that thing could make with the right fuel pump, timing and plugs.
