'Tis possible.  I managed to get enough parts together for
a trial run yesterday.  I'm pretty sure the gas serves
as a builtin heatsink for the injectors and therefore your
tests should be short lived (or with a non-volatile liquid
in the place of gasoline).

As for my cobbled together project...I'm starting with a
CFI (dual TBIs) manifold driven by our project '747. I
haven't managed to get "closed loop" mode out of it yet,
but the injectors are a buzzin'--all on the bench.

I'm gonna send my GM truck EPROM image as soon as my 
programmer comes in (sorry fellas -- it didn't make it
last week due to the infamous computer glitch). I talked
to 'em a bit ago and it should be here in 2-3 days.

Question:
If anyone's still readin' here....will the new style HEI
distributor module fire an old point-type coil?  What 
would I be losing to do that?  I hate to see that bright
yellow SuperCoil replaced by the dingy black OEM one. :)

but it works damn well!   No CSH required.
