hi
ef/el engines are the easiest to put into the ed.. but with a little extra you can just as easy put an au engine in.. and considering your planning on supercharging late?r go the au engine!! i did................. |

EL, the computer and loom are more compatible.
Rip the head off the new one and do some work to it out of the car. makes life real easy. at least then you'll know the gasket and other things will be fine
