This may be a knucklehead thought, but I’ve seen the threads on problems tuning (some?) LT1s, and I’ve seen where some guys have LT1 intakes modded to bolt to SBC with an HEI. So maybe you guys with more experience than I at this (esp Mr HPT guy) could tell me if this is a stupid idea.

Could you adapt an LS1 ECM to any of these applications and tune it with the HPT (or similar) software? Or is there some crazy technical hurdle, like maybe the reluctor ring?

Just a lunchtime thought…

Edit: Yes, I know the harness issue would be a PITA.
