Ok, is this a Jeep 4.7 SOHC V8 that's being stroked to something bigger, or one of their pushrod inline sixes that's been stroked to 4.7 liters? There's going to be a big difference between the two. Also, are you going to be using the Megasquirt to control the ignition, or just fuel?

Ok, fuel only and an inline six is pretty straightforward.

If you're using the Jeep IAC, you'll need an MS-II. If you are removing the IAC and propping the throttle open, using an on/off IAC, or maybe getting a Bosch IAC out of a junkyard, you could use an MS-I.

You will need MS2 for stepper motor control.
1984 Ford Falcon 250ci inline 6 MS'd of course!
