(just realised i posted this in the How To section and it's not for questions - only How To - sorry)
I'm thinking of building a 20' Glen-L designed runabout. I'm really intimidated by the engine stuff. I've looked around and really like the idea of a crate mopar motor or something on eBay like a 5.7 or 6.1 hemi out of a donor car. What do I need to do to get it running in terms of electronics / computers / wiring etc? Basically, if I had it sitting on a homebuilt engine frame in my garage, what would I need to get it to start (ie battery, ignition, cooling etc.) Fill me in, starting from the begining, if you please!
