Northstar equipment

[Jennifer and Brock Fraser]

I've seen a lot of talk of people using Northstar engines for engine swaps
in vehicles like Fiero's and such.  I've also seen some rumblings about
converting these engines to carb(s) to avoid dealing with the injection
system.

For a guy that wants to purchase a complete Northstar control system (ECM,
sensors, ignition parts) does anybody have any leads on where to buy this
as "take-off" or possibly unwanted parts?

I know that the Northstar engine ECM is networked with the other on-board
controllers.  Does anybody know if the engine controller will function as a
"lone box" without it's other box-friends to "talk to"?  In what control
trim (spark, fuel systems) are people using these engines?

Thanks,
Brock
