    There is some weirdo Vette stuff around this time.
    1997-2005 is 4l60E/65E mounted back on the transaxle driveshaft in front of transmission.
    1994-96 Vette is 4l60E
    1990-1993 Vette is 4l60
    1982-1989 Vette is 700-R4

    92-93 GEN II SBC LT1 Vette was Speed Density
    1994-96 LT 1 Vette with auto trans was MAF
    1994-with manual trans was GEN II LT1
    1996 with manual trans was GEN II LT4 (330hp@56800rpm/340lb/ft torque@4000rpm)

    99% of my domestic experience is Ford and 99+ GM. In the fifteen years I've been tuning I have done two '278 ECM, both manual trans. IIRC the 4L60, no -e, is a mechanically shifted 4AT with TCC? Control wise a 700R4? I just need to find a way to make this car run for these folks, and I am not finding another '278 ECM.
    There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it can not be overcome by brute strength and ignorance.

    Besides the transmission difference and MAF sensor missing, the '8051 is also sequential injector firing and the harness won't have enough injector wires for this. Instead of 8 wires to control the injectors individually, the harness will only have 2 wires to fire 4 injectors at once.

    I believe you'd have to set it up as a manual and install another means to control the TCC lockup, and none of these solutions work as well as a ECM does it. You might be able to set it up as an automatic and turn-off all the codes for the transmission and still get it to control the TCC lockup but I'm not sure it will co-operate doing it that way.

    This is a swap? If so steer as far away from the 92-93 computer as possible. I would get a harness from a 94-95 and get a computer from the same. From what I am gathering the engine is a 92-93 and the trans is a 4l60/700r4 correct?
