    2.3 scorpio ecu mongrel help

    Time has come to scrap my 2.3 ,its getting in the way and has been bashed into by passing trucks and tractors,so i am in the process of pulling the motor, and it wont start up any more ---DEAD--theres nothing coming out the ecu . I want to keep it running on a stand for a later swop maybe , i have an old Magneti Marelli P8 ecu from peugot 405 , these units have been used on other things i have been told --any one done some thing like this .? Should explain my budget ---nothing---- moths have eaten the dust that was in the wallet and flown away, so lets be inventive here ,cheers

    esc module and carbs , i think , found some info on p8 marelli and it could be done ,if you really want to , but looks like more work than common sense would normally allow.
