No way I was going to swap in a new computer with all the associated headaches that would create. There's incompatibility with the ****** computer for one, then I'm just getting started with wire harnesses, making sure I actually have a working BCM, etc.
Really, the swap of the reluctor ring and cam sprocket isn't that hard. By the time you get to the point of swapping over all the external components needed from the original engine you're sitting there looking at a basic long block. I just rotated the new engine on the engine stand, removed the bedplate from the bottom end then removed the crankshaft. The most tedious part of the job is getting all the timing marks aligned on the timing chains; bolting in the crank and the connecting rods isn't that big of a deal. A good torque wrench and Lucas assembly oil is your friend
I'm good with mechanical stuff - me and electrical projects don't always get along :happy175:
