LS Crown Vic Hi,
I've been thinking about doing an LS P71 Crown Vic for a while now. They are still some things that bug me. I would like to keep it fuel injected. What should I do with the ECU? Keep the CV one or the donor motor one. I've been reading about these swaps for a long time but the PCM, electronics question, etc, is the hardest one for me. How to convert the LS motor with the CV computer. Anyway, if I could get any clues about this or if I could be directed to a thread that could start answering my questions it would be great! I wouldn't say I'm a total noob about the LS engines but I've got a good way to go!
Thanks

The LS PCM will be needed to run the engine. There are writeups all over on how to convert the harness to a standalone. The Ford stuff won't control the LS engine at all.
The Ford ECU may be needed if you wish to keep your factory gauges or other features. You'll have to figure out how much of the car is controlled by the Ford ECU and decide if you need to keep it.
