Considering this is a development, I'd go with what we know works well, an Intel D525MW. That way you have the full array of other supported hardware that is also proven. Use that with a Mini-box wide input range power supply that survives engine cranks and you are on your way. The have a power supply card that is about $90 and it will supply over 200 watts of power while surviving the low battery voltages that occur when cranking the engine. It has sufficient power on the +12 volt and +5 volt lines to maintain the control power to the accessory cards and sensors during engine cranking, which will be very important (I think).
I have one of those power supply cards and it works exactly as advertised. Once you get the software working, you can optimize the hardware, if so desired. Do you know how much voltage and drive current you need to trigger your fuel injectors? Sounds like a fun project.
