Lingenfelter certainly seems to think it is possible to install FI on a 7.0L block.

Haha I wish that was possible. Hell just put that S/C LS7 in a dune buggy and sell it with a CD player, good brakes and a wheelie bar. That would be some crazy good times!

, yeah the heads are wide, but the mod engines were designed to fit in FWD configurations also. Hence the low wide short engine block featuring small siamesed cylinder bores. Unfortunately with this set-up, you can only add stroke to get the added displacement. That said, if there is one area where Ford could use some help, its with cylinder heads, IMO Ford has never been on top of the game with this.
It'd be nice if they came out with a nice compact big cube perfomance engine, but atleast they are sticking with the mod motors and not reinventing the wheel at every turn.
