Don't expect to find a "real" HC11 in the ECM.  I've taken a very quick look
at a P4 class ECM.  It has three large chips which appear to be 1) a custom
CPU-core-only 68HC11, 2) a custom I/O and RAM chip, and 3) a custom timer
chip similar to a 68332's TPU.  There is also a medium size chip that is the
custom limp-home mode controller.  One of the smaller chips is likely a SPI
interfaced A to D converter.  And it wouldn't surprise me if there is also a
SPI PIO chip.

If you are looking at an older C3 class ECM, there will be a custom CPU-core-
only 6801, one or two custom ROM/RAM/PIO combo chips, a custom timer chip, a
custom A to D chip, the custom limp-home chip, and a custom [are you getting
the picture yet?] oscillator & clock generator chip.  Plus, a custom IAC driver
chip, a custom ignition module interface chip, a custom power supply chip, and
a semi-custom O2 sensor amplifier.

It is safe to say that you won't find info on any of these custom chips in a
Motorola data book.
