According to his sig, he's using the engine out of his 87. You'll need an 86-87 ECU in that case.

That's right, he's using the engine :D

Block and head. There's no point in using the 86-87 manifolds.

Haha. True. I guess he should have said what manifold he was gonna use.

The 8.8:1 compression ratio sucks tough.
