Not just commodores either
There are
oil pressure issues in retrofitting using th older ecu, but is overcome by swapping the valley cover to a LS2 unit and pluging some return valve in the sump (I think thats right). It is to do with the DOD hardware, which is disabled, but the later ECU must do something in relation to the DOD to avoid this issue?
My understanding is, holden released about 300 of these surplus motors recently, thats why there is a flood of them at the moment. Its not so much abot trying to suck you in, as anyone with half a brain realises a crate motor is a pretty bare unit, just a lot out there right now so cheap. Up to a couple of months ago these were going for $6-6.5k, so that 1500 odd dollars you save goes a long way to getting it running. My big box arrived Thursday
