   You might have a problem mounting two injectors in one port.  From a
real estate point of view, one injector doing double duty would be a
better solution, but I don't know how the injector would react to the
increased load.  You may also have troubles wiring the thing, but I
expect that could easily be overcome with some simple electronics.
