'98 Vortec 350 - Good swap into a Jeep?

[CSH-HQ]

The MSD would be distributor less.
The triggering signal isn't generated in the housing, so by that definition 
yes.  In the espertteck they have a new name, but my text happens to be 
5000m away.
  So it does use the DIS rype ecm code which makes like harder to use the 
747 with the vortec parts.
  With a 747 dissy (if possible) gets easier for 747/730 usage.
