You'll be wanting a ZE ecu, probably more important than the IM

thanks man for the info, i copied it into notepad, a couple questions, those thermospacers that outlaw sell, are they inthe place of gaskets? or in coordination? whats a pcv valve? (yes im retarded) andddddd thermostat?

a PCV valve is on your valve cover (in the front) little "L" shapped with a hose attached.<p>The spacers from what Im told I use gaskey sealant on both sides of them, but Email Outlaw and be sure. I purchased mine from david coleman and have yet to install them.

You wont find one on eBay (chances are very slim) and there aren't any Millenia message boards as far as I know.<p>A junker is still a good choice though since it's going to be used no matter where you get it from.<p>~A

throw away all your cheap walmart tools and spend $200.00 and buy a good set of tools. I wasted more time and money just going out and replacing cheap broken sockets and ratchets during the swap.
good luck<p>Cage

the probers are always getting rid of the MS8's and if your ZE comes with the straight neck IM then odds are you can make an even swap. They are starving for the straight ones. You don't need gaskets for thermo spacers but you can use them. In hindsite I wish I had. Would have been both faster and easier than using formagasket.
