[Diy_efi] Vortec 4200 Inline 6 ECM

[Brien Tourville]

    about doing one of those engines a couple months ago and then Hot 
Rod
    magazine had a guy in a nova wagon running low 9's on pump gas 
with
    one of those turboed.  i was hoping we could keep this thread 
going
    collecting information on these engines.  is it necessary to 
control
    the cam(s) or could you just set up a megasquirt on one of these? 
> >
    Does anyone here have any knowledge > or source of for these ?


    ------------------------------- What month / year Issue of Hot 
Rod
    ????????????????? Don't Panic!   

Yes, the ECM is capable of being
    cleaned up along with the wire harness to stand alone function. 
The
    beauty of the cams being controlled by the ECM is maintained > 
the ABS
    / Trans. / etc. can be turned off. Have you checked out GM Media 
for
    all the voluptuous .pdf files they generated on this engine ?

    I've collected them all > lost foam casting of the engine
    thru Turbo / Supercharging of the little bro 5 cyl. version.

    Get the Press Kit .pdf & all the yearly update .pdf files.

    Check the Identity line of the .pdf which shows _02
    or _06 which will tip you as to the year the release
    was made > saves you time when hunting for that
    illusive _06 4200 update .pdf   ( ;)  )

    Join the Bulletin Board @ www.Inliners.org & go to
    High Performance > 4200 and you'll be at the
    epicentre for information.

    The most advanced project is by 'Hemimann' >
    who posted his research contacts ( see the previous
    diy_efi > I posted them )

    I'm just getting going on my Eagle series50, a 4x4
    Gremlin AMC made in '81  -  '82.

    Bought a 6spd. LS430 Lexus automatic trans to run
    behind the 4200.  The trans. came with a computer
    hanging on it's side> with luck I'll get the 4200 ECM
    to chat with it & avoid a manual controller.

    Biggest fright is mating the trans to the 4200!
