Thanks for this.

I’ve been continuing to read and so far here’s my plan.

- Get an extra intake manifold from a donor car at the pick and pull and start building it to handle the fuel rail and injectors. Understood on the sequential injection, so that means probably MS3.

- I’ll probably cut off the manifold and build a new section to the air intake from aluminum. I don’t know how to TIG weld, but I have a MIG welder and I’m pretty sure that will work fine, though it may not be as pretty.

- That also means I will get a throttle body from something else with a TPS. I’ve seen and heard Volvo or BMW, is there a specific size I should shoot for?

- I guess that also means I’ll have to figure out the throttle cabling as well. Standard intake with a cone filter is probably where I’ll end up for now.

- MS3 will also give me coil on plug ignition, so I can also ditch the dizzy.

- The only other thing I don’t really know how to quite manage or route is the idle valve - but I’m guessing I can just use the current one, and figure out the routing?
