You will need the ECU for the 5.7 because the fuel requirement between the two engines are different. How far appart are the years of the vehicals?

They are the same year.1990
Both of them are TBI .....
I did not think the ECU had any part in the fuel...
when you push the peddel it opens the fuel gate(injectors) and air gate together ....
Now thinking about it the injectors get told the release amount form the ecu as they are electric.
Ill have to see about the ecu and getting one from wreckers yard as i never got it ..
I just wounder about the wire setup and if its plug and -play or or ill have to redo the harness .....Hummm
