What was your plan on the motor for ECU? Stock & do you have the complete wiring harness to get it? Will be fairly important to whoever takes the project on

The plan was to run a Link Thunder or Fury ecu as they have a map that allows you to run all the factory sensors. I have not purchased it yet but I do have the connector to wire it directly to the OEM engine harness and all the wiring manuals in PDF to go with it.
