What I like about my aaz is that there isn't an computer,o2, mass air flow,
throttle position switches to go goofy that I have heard about here on the
list. Its only injection pump and injectors. Sure pumps and injectors may
be pricey they don't often fail and limits the things you have to
troubleshoot. I may be biased. If you are going to do a swap you need to
think thru all the good and bad things of any powerplant you are thinking
of then decide which is most favorable.
