Re:help on engine for a transplant

when i have the transplant, i'll have roger at fordcummins.com do the operation. i'm pretty fortunate, big sky, MT is in my back yard (i'm from great falls, MT) ;D

i just want some other opinions on the different engines and advantages/disadvantages (if there are any) of each.

12v would probably be easier no computer needed...
