You'll need a aftermarket chip made at first to turn it off or you'll never get the fuel pump or injectors to fire, go ahead ask me how I know. hahahaa. Brian at Apten can fix you right up.

Later Doug904.

SVO,
Did you ever make this a reality?

I would keep your motor. I have a 1995 ohc with 155,000 on it. I just had to put a used engine in my wife's 1998 (sohc) with only 80,000k on it. The crank broke for no reason at all. Piece of junk!

No sir I didn't have enough time, a 2.3 Turbo motor was also considered as well, but due tothe fact of time constraints I just put a rebuilt 4.0 OHV back in her.
