Arrow LT1 Fuel Injection on a different engine. Doable?

Someone asked me if they could use the LT1 fuel injection setup to convert a carbed SBC to fuel injection. Is this doable?
Without knowing the earlier SBC a whole lot, I would think that this would be a pretty complicated and not cost effective project, if even doable.

What do you think?
Thanks!

Just depends on what you're doing really.

The Optispark is necessary to run he PCM. The Intake can be converted, and alot of the hardware re-used but the PCM would be a bust.

I know the guy at lt1intake.com, so I was wondering about the pcm mainly. You've answered my question though.
Thanks.

You can pick up older Accell DFI units for dirt. I think that would be a much more viable option than trying to use the LT1 wiring and PCM.
