badjuju Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I have an MS box sitting on my deskt (MS1, PCB 2.2 from diy, with relay board). I have a 2.8L stock L28 with 283,xxx miles on it, and an automatic transmission. Also, it's an 81. It would be a good idea/project for me to rebuild an engine and get it up and running with a new engine and with a manual tranny before moving to MS. Knowing some of the problems with MS concerning 1981 hardware, I'm wondering what all I should change in addition to rebuilding my internals, in order to better suit a swap to ms?

randy 77zt Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 problems were with 81zxt -not na.zxt and na have 2 different computor systems.if you want to get a na motor running on ms just use the stock ign system and get a tach signal for the ms from it.but if you put a turbo on later with na ign you will have to find a way to make ign timing retard under boost.study system theory-and learn about ign timing curves.

midnightzxt Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 if you're swapping engines.. get an '82 zxt engine... mine did just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
