This came up in my MarkVIII head swap post but I just thought I'd see what you guys thought of this.
I went and looked at the PI engine I had mentioned (120,000 kms) out of an Interceptor and the guy basically said I could have the wiring harness, PCM, trans and whole engine w/ intake for $700.
This seems like a good deal to me, no?
My question is though if I don't want the drive by wire how hard would it be to keep my PCM and TB and wiring but use the engine and trans from the Intereceptor?
I know it would need a tune but I have an SCT flash tuner and a guy that could write me what I need.
Or would I be better off just swapping it all over and living with the DBW?
Oh, and by the way, the main reason I'm in the middle of all this is because currently I need an exhaust manifold gasket on the passenger side and the engine has to be lifted to do it.....So since that has to be done anyway I'm just trying to be as efficient about things as possible.
Thanks!
