Maybe one of you can help me with my swap questions, i want to connect the original mechanical gauges to the LQ4, so can i use the the sensors from the old 350 with an adapter on the LQ4 or do the PCM need the signals from Oil pressure and coolant temp?
So maybe there are some other positions that i can use for these 2 sensors?
For Oil Pressure can i use the block off plate above the oil filter? (Tap a 1/8 NPT Thread in it?)
And for coolant temp find some position on the cylinder head?
