    Default swapping ECU

    I've got a VX SS and am wondering if you can swap it's Engine ECU for a WH ECU. Both are 4spd autos and have LS1. Can you swap them no probs or will there be issues? Cheers

    I'm reasonably sure you will need to get new ECU linked to the BCM with a Tech 2 otherwise it won't start. Why do you need to change the ECU?

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
