Im getting my new engine this weekend and I want to make sure the computer will work with it. The previous owner who installed teh computer had a crane cam in it and had converted it to mass air. Now my new engine will have the mass air but not the cam. Will it still work?

Odds are your just fine.

But for future posts, go ahead and create a sig listing all the mods to your ride.
This way when you post a question about the car, everyone knows exactly what they are looking at.

Out of curiosity what kind of motor are we talking about. Stock 302 bottom end? 347 stroker? ???

Hope the swap goes well for ya'
