For the cost of the kit, the retrofitting and the time of getting the A/F and timing perfect it will be a wasted investment, you'll never see the return.

Your money would be better spent doing general maintenance and swapping for the more fuel efficient 3.42/3.73 gears and the 5-speed.

Not trying to discourage you but unless you're doing it to be the first I think you'll be disappointed...

This looks easier to do

I don't really wanna run electric. The point of the project is not to get better gas milage or to "go green". Its more to see if its doable.

to run on pure hydrogen would be quite difficult. if you wanted to use it to boost the power, you might be able to use the air injection rail for injecting into the cylinder.
