i have a 88 SE and i blew my motor the other night witch was no surprise since my oil controll rings were slowly diying. To my luck i happened to have a S5 N/A motor hanging on a stand in my shop. Now my plan is to use my S4 manifolds and everything else with the S5 block my question is can i block off the electric OMP and not swap front covers? ive already dealt with the LIM not matching up. just making sure this isnt going to F with the timing or something stupid. ive done this swap before but we swaped the front cover to keep the mechanical OMP.

 

you can block it off and run premix. You'll be fine.

 

yeah you can just block off and you wont need the OMP rod either.
just rrun premix

 

sweet! i was hoping that was what i was going to hear.
