swapping blackbird for blade
stricor - 3/9/03 at 12:19 PM

Is it possible to swap a blackbird for a blade engine without redoing all the electrics?? I have heard that the ignition connectors are the same. what about the dynamo, ignition sender and speed sensor? The car runs the blackbird at the moment but I want to try some things with a tuned blade. Mechanically the swap aint a problem because of a changeable engine cradle.

Ive never heard anyone on the BEC list comment that the two looms are the same, so I can only assume they are different. For starters they'd have different CDI units which might not be compatible with running the blade engine.
