How easy / what's required to swap an l98 to drive by cable? Planning on running an l98 in a Silvia for a drift car

I thought the L98 was a TPI engine? Do you mean L99?

So I'm going to guess it's a GenIV? That makes it harder to go DBC than the older GenIII.

You can easily do it with a Holley HP system.

Prettty sure you will be using the E38 which doesn't support it natively. Same issue for me with an HSV sourced LS3.

You need that converter box, airflow sensor, ls1 ECU etc.
Or do a 24 tooth swap and run LS1 ecu + sensors.
