Okay, Pont, you were right. I should have given you some more respect! lol

Well, so it seems then, that I just need to get an ignition system of some sort to manage spark and control the fuel injection. Then get a sensor for the reluctor ring and somehow figure out how to plumb the coolant?

Would anyone have an idea on how to plumb the coolant?

Anyone heard of SDS and is it worth getting over MS?

I was talking to the guy at the junkyard today and he said the hole was for a cam position sensor to help determine spark?

What about coolant plumbing? Anyone know how to route that?

Does anyone know how much boost these engines can handle and whether or not the ECU will allow it?
