Well I just took a HUGE step in adding fuel injection to my Cutlass ('80). Awhile back I bought a '91 Corvette TPI manifold setup, unfortunately it did not have the harness or ECM.

Well originally I figured on doing a Megasquirt though right now I want to get the car up and running before the summer is out. Today I got a decent wad of cash and will have more coming in over the next month or so. I figured I would do something I have not done in awhile and check out EBAY. Well I found a '91 Corvette ECM minus the prom for a good price and then found a flashed PROM (VATS disabled) that was ending soon. Well all in on the ECM and PROM I just spent a little under $100. I also ordered a new wiring harness and the gasket kit to rebuild the intake.

Next week the block goes in to be hot tanked and the heads are going to get worked on. Figure that by the end of the week I will have picked up my full rebuild kit. I need to get all my parts together to setup the manual transmission and the conversion parts to bolt in my 12 bolt rear.

I might scavenge the remaining parts I need off the '79 still. The biggest expense I will have left is the new wheels and tires :lol:
