As David pointed out, would it be that easy to just "plug and chug" or retrofit my old distributorless ignition (DI) parts to the new engine. Since I did not install the existing DI myself, I'm not sure what parts are connected to the engine that's associated with the DI. Any clues would be appreciated? |

Why not just remove your distributor and assorted parts and mount them on the new motor, and put the other distributor setup on the core engine you give them back? |

You can purchase the Electromotive distributorless ignition unit from $800.- $1200. depending where you get it and installation is fairly simple. There have been many installed on this board and I am sure you can get all the help you need here. I love mine and would never go back to the factory system. |

Well, the best way is to go to a Standalone engine management system (eg Electromotive TEC-II) this totally replaces your ECM, and as a bonous, your car will run better, and have a bit more power (as you can tune it to run slightly richer than stochimetric, which emmisions people won't like, but you will.)
Total cost: ~$2-3k.
Best!

I plan on swapping engines with a factory rebuilt, but my existing one is modified to a single-line distributor w/ 1/2" plates where the dual-distributors were. I'm sure the factory rebuilt one would not be so. Any insight on this? Parts & labor to convert? Costs? Whole idea was to save on a $12K rebuild of existing engine. |
