So I now have three 427 PCMs with the 4L80s eproms, and for 350s out of 93/95/92 G20 van and truck.

I have an adapter plug to go from a 4L60e to the 4L80e.

The main question is what do I need...

Bought 427s with correct eprom. Problem solved.

Thanks,

The idea of locking the converter in 2nd I question...the idea of a converter is to allow the engine to spin up more than the gear allows (as in a stick) and pull more power.

On the...

A major question:

Switching to a 16197427 to run a 4L80e.

My read is I can get any 7427 and just reprogram it, is that right??

So can I just load the basic operating system...

I can find 16197427s reasonable BUT no one can tell me anything about the van or truck they came out of.

They cannot tell me what transmission, engine of even if it was even running when hit.
...

It came with a 4L60E and a 16168625 ECM.

I bought a conversion hardness.

Wiring is no problem for me.

Rich

Thanks all downloaded.

Rich

That will fill the bill.

So can you share the conversion to MPFI??

Rich

I have a thread here about that, I was thinking of running the vans 16168625 but it was made for a 4L60e and I want to run the 4L80e and am seeing it might be better to run a 16197427...

As this...
