Nice summary Louis. You should cross-post that to the SE-R list as well.

This has all been covered here before, multiple times. It's never been in one place before though. Hopefully it will help some folks get started with research.

The one thing you ommitted (although I know where it fits and know you do to, but others may not) was the BB DET itself.

FWIW folks, it still fits with #1. So why go DET? To replace a high mileage engine and/or minimize some of the mechanical complexity (for some) of figuring out how to run water and oil lines to and from the turbo.
