Converting a Performer manifold and TBI to TPI...

Hey guys,
	I think I remember a thread recently (here or on the Third gen list) about
drilling an Edelbrock Performer manifold for TPI injectors and running a TBI
with injectors removed as the throttle body...  Am I smoking crack?  I know
that Edelbrock has their $2000 version of this, but if I could afford
that...  This would work with the TBI harness, wouldn't it?  You would have
to rewire it so that the left injector wiring fired the left bank of TPI
injectors, and the right injector wiring the right bank...  Has anyone done
this?  Would it work?  If you could burn your own chips/reprogram the
computer to compensate for changes...  Would this work on a 383 SBC?
Please, unless you are going to stroke me a check, don't say "Just buy the
MiniRam/SuperRam/HighDollarRam and call it a day."  If I could afford stuff
like that I wouldn't even be asking this kind of question...

Thanks for any help,
			Steve
