I have a 89 GMC pickup and was looking to repower it. I decided on a ready to run v-8 350 with a 650 cfm edlebrock carb. THe problem is that the existing engine is a 4.3 liter v-6 with the tbi system. My question is how to i now avoid my ecm when installing the new engine. When reading through the manual on the v-6 i noticed all the relays an such that are sent to the ecm which allow it to run. i dont want to get stuck with a brand new 350 that doesn't run because of the previous computer. the catch is i would like to avoid re-wiring the whole system if at all possible. any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
