	You will need the loom for the ECU etc, also you need to think about the fuel pump and a return from the injectors to the fuel tank. Otherwise there should be no problem size wise. Saw one at the shark fest this year with a similar conversion - it was quite hard to tell the difference apart from the fuel injection.
