My decision to attempt the swap with minimal Callaway components being used is also based upon the fact that the Gems short block I have gotten is not the higher compression one in the Callaway anyway. Will adding the top end with heads and all even work because of this? My situation with funds, etc. leads me to look at these posibilities with hope to improve towards ideal in the future. So, my original question is whether or not the Callaway ECU will run a standard Gems motor? Based upon the info I have read the standard computer does allow for some flexibility in components and sensors. All of the sensors are the same. The upper intake is the same except for shorter stacks and Carbon Fiber tube. The cam probably is different though. The Callaway ECU is different I know with programming and the chips being soldered in. Maybe it won't work. Isn't it iffy either way I go though? At this point could it be that I have a bad Catalytic converter causing a rich mixture and missfires, etc? Couldn't a bad MAF also be at fault? Why did the original Callaway engine throw a rod? I don't know. These components are from that setup though. Is a 1313 code indicating a bad conveter or damage happening to the converter because of excessive emissions?
