i have a few questions regarding TIICO conversions.  I've read ken
wilfey's posts regarding the tiico conversions and am left a bit confused.
What do i need to use from my old wasserboxer engine on the tiico?  see
below regarding my concerns:

1) an oxygen sensor wiring harness isn't included? That seems silly.
Oxygen sensor too. Not included? huh?
2) will the standard vanagon mufflers work? Did you replace them because
the old ones were in bad shape? I can see the appeal of a nice new muffler
w/ a new engine.
3) what the difference in a muffler and tailpipe?
4) what is the muffler carrier? Are those the straps that hold the muffler
out of the mud? difference between the strap and muffler carrier?
6) are the old injectors needed? or does it come w/ new ones?
7) auto tranny pan and fill tube? (only for auto conversions)
8) timing and co? Can i do this or will i need a s shop's assistance here?

I'm a bit confused. So the TIICO is not a turn-key operation?? But more
like an 'improved' long block?

Thanks
