If you go with a standalone and beef up the oiling system it should be ok. I'm not sure as to how the casting thickness of the NA housings compares to that of the TII housings, but anything under 15 PSI should be ok.

Well I am the guy with the blue and silver motor. I finally got it to run this weekend when I replaced the ECU and Water Thermo Senser. How she runs great, I put a 100 miles on her just yesterday, and she did great. I am down at school, so I can't run it much during the week but my dad is going to run it some. I hope that I will be able to drive it down here next weekend. But that is the update on my project.
