My Brother-in-law who lives in Simi Valley and works down in LA (he does
computer simulation/animation on shows like Frasier, etc... he also worked
on a few Seinfeld episodes when it was on (for example remember when
Kramer's head was on a Turkey? It is amazing how much computer
simulation/animation is on those shows!) converted his TR-7 Coupe to a fuel
injected Rover 4.8 liter V8 last year and he passed inspection.
He did the install himself and it looks fantastic.
