Is there room for the standard distributor? You might have to go with distributorless ignition. It can be done though, I've seen it done. The
16V is a nice motor, very smooth.
No I don't want the turbo due to the gas prices and the fact the motor in my gle only has 130,00 thats barely broken in. Yes I can move the distributor, but if anybody has a link on how to do a distrubutor ignition let me know. Jason
The turbo should get comparable fuel economy, but since you already have a good motor from a (presumably) wrecked car then go for it. As for distributorless, do a search for Ford EDIS, that seems to be the most common one people transplant. You could also use Megasquirt & Spark to control both the fuel and ignition, that's more work but a LOT more versatile.
