Different motor, same computer?
i have an 88 camaro with a locked up motor, i just bought a 2.8 that came out of an 89 RS, will I have to change the computers? or can i just plug all the sensors and wires back where i pulled em?
and if i do have to change the computers, can i use the old wiring? just simply unplug old computer and plug in new one? or is it not that simple?
88 Camaro has a 2.8 MPFI, 5 Speed
89 Camaro RS has a 2.8 MPFI, 700 R-4
any more info needed on the cars lemme know.
Thanks - Steve

no need to swap the ECM.
