Engine mapping/tune-up...outstanding project!

Agree with putting the motor you want in. It is still cheaper then the new trucks and something you can enjoy. I have same truck as you but 4 wheel and V6. Looks great!!!

Well....I fell behind on this project, but it'll back on it soon. Was driving it on the night of 4th of July and the TFI bit the dust on our way home from dinner. Thought it ate another distributor gear, but that was not the case. I haven't had a distributor mounted TFI fail on a 2.3 before, normally just an issue on the V8s in my experience. Drug it on the trailer at 1am after watching fireworks from our prime roadside spot and then let it sit in the driveway in timeout for a few weeks before I diagnosed it.

Picked up a TFI heat sink from an OBS truck and removed a few fins for the Hall effect sensor wires.

I was going to extend the wires and get this mounted up ASAP....but decided to wait until I gut the harness and rearrange it for the PimpX install. Which will hopefully start this fall. I have an 8.8 to build for the car and a frame to patch up on my winter beater first.
