Drop In Motors

So I watch a lot of Youtube channels daydreaming and picking up good ideas.

In all of these shows the builders drop modern engines into something else.

My question is how do you get all the computerized stuff to run?

Forgive me, I'm sure this question has been asked before.

Point me in the right direction or tell me to push off, your choice

Stand alone controllers are available for modern engines, at least the LS and Coyote motors. Google "controllers for LS and Coyote swaps" or something similar and get millions of results from Edelbrock, FAST, Holley and a host of others.

Aaahhhhhh!

See that makes sense now. I just couldn't think how you could put something so complicated in something so simple.

Thanks
