I asked Tom about his opinion, and it seem this engine would be better to start with than an older 292.

I could go stand alone as Tom has said using a commander efi setup, not sure how I would do timing and ignition, but it can be figured out.

my main concern is the DOHC. I think they are variable, and I'd have no way to control it. Honestly I'd like to just lock everything down, so that Im only controling ignition and fuel.

Whats yall thoughts?
