And, there are those that put the Engines in other Vehicles as you are doing that need another method.
The Fuel Cutoff Solenoid is simple. I looked on eBay and they had one for Boats and it also has a Manual Override on it. The Manual Override is something that My Volvo does not have. If the Solenoid Failed I would be unable to run the Engine.

Im interested to see what stomis comes up with too. Im near this point in my project as well, and I really like mach4's method as well.
Ive been toying with going with a mercedes ignition including the vac valve and making the shutoff stock mercedes, while adapting the wiring instead to my project vehicle. It just seems like the way they designed it is pretty decent, and if you use the same function in a project vehicle, you have all stock parts to repair it if you need to, nothing custom. For me the MB ignition would have to be dash mounted though.
