GM connect and cruise
GM connect and cruise I am in the beginning and planning stages of my 1972 Blazer 2 wheel drive. It was supposed to be rust free but a bunch of hidden and some not so hidden rust has been found! We are in the process of stripping the tub and repairing the rust first.
It is going to be an LS swapped vehicle. I want to stick with a 4L65/70 for a transmission as my newly restored tilt column only has provisions for a 4 speed automatic. Many years ago I swapped a 5.3/4L60 into a 4 wheel drive Jimmy and it was adequate at the time. I really would like an aluminum block/heads 6.0 or 6.2. Many of the low mileage engines are $5-8,000 and needing a harness and tune. The connect and cruise is about $15-16,000 with a warrantee, 4L70, harness and tune?
I have been unable to find additional information. Do these use an MAF? Any pro or cons to these? Anyone using one? Is the E rod a better option (I am in MA)
I am 58 and disabled so I want as turn key as possible but also wouldn't mind saving some $$$$

Is Massachusetts a strict state for emissions control laws? If they test or inspect at all, I'd ask one of the check station people first before I bought anything.
1 - Does the VIN inside the PCM have to match the vehicle VIN?
2 - Does EVAP have to be in place with the EEC fuel tank?
3 - Will the vehicle be considered as a 1972 vehicle or 2020?
Etc, etc . . . etc.
See if the Mass DMV web site has any mention of engine swaps.

From what I have found unless you are building a kit car they go on year of vehicle 1972 in my case. There are no emissions requirements for a 1972. To prevent fuel odors I am considering evap or purge options?
