Other than having it durasparked any other gotchas I need to know about?

Gonna have the 2.8 rebuilt and fix all the !@#$!@#$ leaks, but I need to know if there are any gotchas or might as well go ahead and do?

I'll switch out clutch, put new exhaust while there, prolly take a close look at tranny (should be fine).

Switch over to Fuel Injection?
Replace what parts and pieces while it's out?

Yeah, prolly should find a 2.9 and have it done and then drop it in but I'm partial to that gutless little 2.8...
 
The Rotunda tool kit for the 2.8 is helpful, but not absolutely necessary. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward.
 
TBI is more feasible than actual ported injection.

Also, it's cool to do.
