Getting ready for my 1st build

[jbxx]

OK here's the poop. I will be ready to start my build finally when the "NEW" pistons finally arrive.
I have : 88 Renix block
88 intake, head and all parts (top end)
Scat crank
Comp 68-232-4 cam
4.0 rods
mopar springs and lifters
Melling HV oil pump
dual roller chain & gears
7120 head, intake and TB (whole top end)
So, I want the 7120 head, but do I use the intake and TB that goes with it? Or, do I use all the old Renix stuff on the 7120 head to facilitate an easier swap?
I will be using the Renix computer to start with. I might switch later to a later ECU or mabey even a Megasquirt.
Questions will be coming hot and heavy.

Don't buy the mopar lifters... over priced.. only benefit is that they are the correct size... Hylift's lifters are cheaper and are the correct size... don't really know how important the correct size is though... but if you do buy the mopar lifters only buy 4.. i have two I'll sell you. Standard OEm and Mopar Performance are the Same lifters.

As for the intake... i am not very familiar with the renix vs. others.... but if you are going to mega squirt I suggest the 99+ intake and TB

Edit- can't get link to work. so in stroker perf.- getting renix sensors working with '94 based stroker

link I put on there shows(a little way down) how to make a hybrid renix/obd tps to use a ho TB etc.. with renix. disregaurd the adapter plate stuff- don't need it with the ho intake.i believe it will work with any year/style HO intake -TB

Thanks for the spring advice and offer but I have everything except the custom pistons.
So I'll go with all the 95 stuff and adapt, I have seen the link.
Thank you. The fun begins!

Looks like that link uses the Renix intake and puts an HO TB on it.
Woudn't it make more sense to keep everything associated with the new head together or would I be better leaving the old sensors and linkages
in tact to mate up with all the old Renix sensors and just adapt an HO TB?

It may be a moot point. If I'm going to be using using the 7120 head
the Renix intake and exhaust won't line up ( I think)

i know thats on there, but you need to skip past it down to the sensor stuff. Yes HE used the renix intake,but the sensor stuff is the same.Using the 7120 head,ho intake&TB you're way ahead. You end up cutting up a HO tps,pulling the "bushing" out and using it on the renix tps.Don't cut to deep into the ho tps-you need the guts
