   It would be nice if it were that easy.  :-)  But in my case, there is
no OE stuff; no software, no original O2 bungs, etc.  :-)  (I'm converting
a '70 440 from a carb to TBI.)  I'm planning on using the Holley 
Commander 950 TBI setup, so its not really diy-efi in that sense, but
I figured O2 sensor placement is common to all systems though, diy-efi or not.

  Its starting to look like I should just put the sensor in one bank,
right after the exhaust manifold.
