Swap Prom in 1227747

[48Njim]

Newbie here, trying to get back into an old project. It's a '65 Toyota Land Cruiser with '69 Camaro motor/TH350 AT. About ten years ago I tossed the Quadrajet and installed a TBI from a '88 Chevy Astro Van. Its been good enough for the old Cruiser that doesn't get driven to far or to fast but I think it could be better.


If nothing else my understanding of this set-up could be better.


Facts:
'65 Land Cruiser FJ40 with
'69 Camaro engine(HB) 350(5.7L)/300hp w/TH350 auto using TBI from
'88 Chevy Astro Van ECM
SVC# 1227747
Prom: AKMH


Obliviously the engine is 5.7L V8 and the ECM/prom is for a 4.3L V6. If I understand correctly, it would have been better to have used a ECM/Prom for a 5.7L engine. Again, the engine seems to run fine but I suspect I'm not taking full advantage of the bigger engine. This isn't much a problem consider the little Cruiser's original engine was a small inline six cylinder.


Question:


Should/could I swap out installed Prom for a variety more appropriate for the 5.7 engine? Perhaps an ASDU?


Or could tuning the existing chip get similar results? Sorry I haven't dipped my toes in the tuning pool, but I'm interested in trying.


Or leave it and swap 5.7L injectors?


I'll appreciate any thoughts or direction.


Thanks in advance,
Jim

Often starting with a chip that is as close as possible (displacement, injector flow rate, and timing table) is a good plan. ASDU is a 5.7 displacement with 5.7 injector flow rates and 5.7 timing table.:thumbsup:

Thanks. Makes sense. I really have been reading and searching but..

Can I change the chip only and keep the installed ECM or better to get another ECM with the ASDU installed?
I assume another 1227747 ECM with the ASDU chjp would be plug and play.

I recommend replacing both chips as a married pair. Likely the easiest way to get a married pair of chips will be from a used ASDU ECM.

Seems like this would do it. Should I move chips or simply swap the whole unit. I assume the wiring and connectors would be the same.

thank you,

Either option works, move chips or swap the ASDU computer.
