Depends which injection system it has - if it's the earlier Bosch CIS, then it's a mechanical system, with the only electronics controling the cold-start mechanism and the idle valve. If it's the later Bosch K-Jettronic, it's electromechanical injectors, and a more sophisticated control unit. > -Is all equipment attached to the engine compatible or do I have to make > sure I get it with the engine (startermotor/alternator/waterpump etc?) Starter and alternator are swappable. The water pump is totally different - but this will come out with the engine anyway. Good luck. -- Grunff
