I'm not sure if there are any or not.
But, why do you want to get rid of the current ECM? Both the 165 and 730 do a good job at managing the engine and can be modified to do pretty much whatever you want.
If you don't want the hastle of changing chips and so forth I'd suggest you hop over the DIY Prom page and search for Emmulators. With one of these you can tune on the fly without having to burn a bunch of chips.

You can use a DFI 6.32 computer and a Dan White Racing interface harness. This is what most guys are using with a DFI. I have used this for the last 8 years and it has worked great. The complete install takes about an hour and is pretty much all plug in.
Do a google search for Dan White Racing. They have info on their web sight.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong,
The DFI unit is from Accel, its a speed density stand alone ECM which you tune via your laptop.
Go onto Summit Racing site or Accel's for a good description.

The DFI was designed as a stand alone. Dan White developed an interface harness that ties the DFI computer into the factory harness and includes the plug for a laptop. The system is a Speed Density system. A harness is used that runs from the TPS to a MAP sensor. One wire needs to be run from the mass air plug to the TPS harness. Pretty much a straight forward installation.
