Will GM sell components to make their Crate engines fuel injected?

Does anybody think GM will make any components for their crate engines to make them fuel injected? I realize it could be a daunting task, form computer, to injectors, and beyond...

But do you think it's possible?

What crate engines do you speak of? Some of them are. And, I think as of this year, you can buy the Ramjet components in a kit- that covers any small block with a Vortec head. The big block Ramjet kit has been available for a while.

All the LS crate engines are available fuel-injected. This year, they're also selling the computer and wiring harness, along with a complete accessory kit.

Might be a good idea to stay away from the smokey stuff, too!

I'm wondering a few things. How much will the LSA & LS9 crate engines cost?

I wonder what the chances are that GM Performance Parts might release supercharger kits based off of those?

Given that the LS7 is at least $13k from a GMPP dealer, I'm going to go with "more than that."

I honestly don't think they will sell them as crates, only as replacements.

Checking out GMperformanceparts.com, they updated it and I missed it. Hm, mokay, thanks guys.

Based on what?

I thought that the LSA was already slated for "aftermarket" sales for the marine market.

You can already get the LS3 and LSA as marine engines http://www.gm.com/explore/technology...ne_engines.jsp
