Yes I’ve read the Pelican engine swap write up, but I just wanted to make sure there weren’t any other compatibility issues I’m missing.
I’m interested in learning about this topic as a whole, but the specific application I have in mind:
I recently acquired a ‘97 with a fried immobilizer. Since I already have to replace the ECU/etc, I was thinking about putting in a newer ECU since I’m also considering an engine swap (3.4,3.6,3.8) and the ‘97-‘99 ECU only works with the 3.4.
