You can either use an H.O. motor, its wiring harness, and computer, which requires a lot of work. Or you can use the H.O. motor but still reuse the renix computer and sensors. You will just have to plug the renix sensors into where the H.O. ones go. Expect for the IAC, you need to get an adapter to fit the renix one into the H.O. throttle body. I would go this route. I've looked into it a lot for myself.

I would have it taken back off before someone came over to help.
