7747/8746 will also work. Hardware wise, theyre the same as the 8063.

Oh, youll have to use the chip that comes with the ecm, or transfer the calibration. If you get one from a camaro/firebird, itll be a direct swap if your using the stock prom.

Go to ebay.com and search for 1228063. There are several ECM's there right now.

Yes, it will work. Swap the PROM and CALPAK from your current ECM into the one from the 4.3. These are the two 'chips' under the small cover.

I take it you have an '88? If so I wouldn't recommend the '8746, has VATs.

Didnt read the part that you found one. Your lucky... When I was looking for a replacement, the 8063's where 3x the cost of a standard 8746
