So I'm doing a 305 to 350 swap on my '84 T/A. I don't have to go through emissions anymore, so all of that stuff is going away. I'm trying to decide if I want to lose the computer, or if I could hook it back in to the 350. Anyone have any idea what the computer actually controls (I'm not using the CCC on the 350)?

An older tranny is going in, so lockout won't be an issue. Is the fan ECM controlled? And would the fuel pump in the gas tank be as well (I'm pretty sure I have one, as my car is H.O.)? Is there anything else I should consider with removing the computer, or would my life be easier just sticking with it. And if I do that, how do I go about using it for the 350?

 

I think in your year the fan is from a switch in the head , if electric the fuel pump is easily rewired to run off the Ign switch

 

fuel pump is ign, fan is ecm, picks up a resistance from temp sensor and turns on relay, just run fan off toggle and turn on when engine temp gets hot. i don't think thers anything else.

 

The shade tree way

Install a $20 fan switch and have the fan run automatically
