other than going to a 24x LS style setup you dont really have any......why do you want to get rid of it? for 99% of applications it will work just fine......i ran one on mine for 5 years only reason i got rid of it was it didn't like the rpm i was spinning it and it took too long to change caps and rotors....

yeppp i ran a stock opti with MSD cap and rotor on mine too with no issues.....
i really dont know......i tossed two rotors on mine then MSD told me i was spinning them too fast.....one of em i put the tip of the rotor right through the side of the cap lol......keep in mind i was spinning them 8k+ rpm so in a normal 7krpm application i dont see an issue....i spun mine 7000~ in my old 355 for years and years and never had a problem....

Ok, now if this engine doesnt have the reluctor wheel or trigger, what else do i need to buy? Kinda need a parts list AND will an L98 intake fit on the heads? I've got a Vic Jr that I'm planning on using for this build that was "made" to fit a L98
