use the block as a long block, use the renix sensors. You'll have to adapt the injector plugs to the new fuel rail, and have to adapt the TPS to the TB. There's a pictorial faq in the members section. I was looking to do the same thing for my stroker build, useing an HO head and 99 intake. I don't think the newer blocks have the knock sensor hole. If the boss is there you could drill and tap.
