I have decided to use the COP system as they are used on the Mark VIII engine. A found a guy who makes a conversion harness. You plug the coil pack wiring connectors to this harness and it has connections to the coils in the correct locations. This will make things sooooo much easier.
I like it

Putting JB Weld in the IMRC openings today. Good thing it is a crappy day outside because this is not something that you can just walk away from. It's been about a half hour and the semi-liquid mixture still wants to run out of the holes. I've cleaned up around the holes as much as I can without disturbing the patch area. Can you go back and clean this stuff up later?

I've now babysit these patches for about six hours. In the interim, I've read about the well-earned reputation of J-B the Weld glacial-flow drying time. Thanks for the information but I would think that the leak between cylinders would be counter-productive to the proper combustion process.

Hello, great job so far on your swap. I'm going to do the same swap on my 96 in two weeks, I found a complete 97 mark 8 motor with 101k miles for 550.00. Keep up the good work I'll be looking forward to seeing how yours turns out.
