Chevy Cavaliers and Citation's have these systems. The 2.8 (just about 
every midsize GM car used this engine), 3.8, and 4.3 liter V6's used in 
GM trucks and vans (S-10, C/K full size trucks, Astro vans, full size 
vans) will have two injectors (5.0 liter V8's also use two but it's 
probably too big for a stockish six) but I'm not sure how much messing 
you'd have to do with the manifold to get them to fit. All of these TBI 
units are held down with three bolts so you'll need an adapter of some 
sort. You'll also need to use an electric fuel pump (you'll need to 
trigger that with a relay that the ECM controls) and run a fuel return 
line to the gas tank. Most of these systems have an O2, MAP, and 
temperature sensor that you'll need to plumb in and you'll also need an 
oil pressure sensor for the ECM (at least for a stock ECM) and use a 
computer controlled distributor.
