I am sure it is possible, but there is really no reason doing it, as the injection is plenty accurate for what the duke has to offer anyway.

If you actualy did get it mounted, and working, then you would have to find some way to tune/control it, also a project in itself, to see almost no benifit.

There's someone here who's using one, as their original went out. But again, it doesn't give any performance boosts. The bottlenecks in the 'duke are elsewhere.

the 4.3's had them too and were they were almost too big for them.
My first hopped up 4.3 had one and made over 250 hp with it but
I felt at that point it was about the right size and any more mods
would require the twin holly unit

hmm, The 4.3 in my dad's Safari had a 2BBL TB with 2 diff sized injectors. This Crossram he's talking about might be the CrossFire (Known as the CeaseFire at some GM plants) that came on early 80s Vettes and F-Birds. Looked a bit like the old 305 Dual 4BBL Chevy engines from the old road racing days. But, these CrossFire injectors are a single barrel like the Duke's. This might work. Would be neat to see someone pull it off. Not sure of the specs on these tho. Should look first.
