Located in Charleston SC. I found an old short block in the shed. Free to anyone willing to come pick it up. Don't ask me the condition. I didn't look hard enough at it. I'm pretty sure the crank is there along with the main caps and maybe pistons/rods

Simple enough it seems, I’m gonna have the timing chain cover off when I remove the balancer to modify it for a trigger wheel. Also gonna remove the head, and convert it to studs and the add back the Ajusa mls head gasket. What benefit do I gain by omitting the balance shaft?

As stated, I’m converting over to a DIY made mpfi intake manifold. I’ll be using a universal 65 mm throttle body.    Since I’m making the intake, I can design the thing to mount the TB where I want it. While I haven’t looked closely at the old throttle body, I’m sure I’m going to have to try and adapt the cruise control servo/solenoid/actuator to the new TB. Ignition will no longer rely on the old distributor, and the coil will go in favor of a crank trigger/coil near plug system con

I bought one of these because it fits the pulley and will be easier to mount it. But after doing some reading on the mega-manual for Megasquirt, it looks to me like a 35-1 wheel isn’t supported because the tooth count isn’t divisible evenly when trying to place the crank trigger sensor. Anybody got any input about this?
