Holy smokes that's a lot of replies! Love it. Thanks everyone for the insight.
I was scrounging around the yard today and have a bunch of 2L Saab options but came across a Mercedes W123 setup as well. I absolutely love those cars and I started thinking a 3.0L diesel acts a lot more like a 2F and might yield better results. I might pull both and see how one or the other fit together.
Another thought... In pursuing better breathing of the 2F I milled down some FJ62 manifolds. They have worked great with the sniper and I like them a lot but the stock 60 exhaust manifold has better placement for a turbo . I wonder if the improved flow of the 62 manifold would justify the more space consuming and difficult turbo manifold/adapter/J-pipe or if direct mount on the more restrictive 60 manifold would suffice?... Eventually just making my own turbo manifold may just be the way to go...
Still thinking on timing and knock detection. I was planning on tuning conservatively and not requiring a higher dollar efi unit/ additional sensors.
I know NA motors but forced induction has proven to be a very exciting new realm to my cruiser addiction.
