The TBIV is a good unit, it will work fine. Track down a V6 module for it so you can run a little more initial timing.

It took a little longer to get it running than I planned but it finally is in and running!!!! Gotta run it a little and dial it in but for the most part sounds really good. Had a bell housing and coupler clearance issue and sprung a fuel leak on the cheap chitty dual feed fuel line I bought but other than I can't complain. Stay tuned for a YouTube video of the first start up.

I hope for your sake, that is a roller cam in that motor. Non roller cam needs 1500 rpm break in for about 20 min. with a break in oil...... sounds good.
