Re: 8.1 496 fuel injected in 66 suburbun

First you will need to have the engine wiring harness reworked (unless you can do it yourself) to accomodate your specific installation. Then once that is done, you will need to have the PCM reflashed to eliminate unused system components (EGR, extra O2's,VATS, etc), and be 'tuned' to work in your vehicle. Most guys send them off to companies that specialize in that sort of thing. Although if you're savy enough you can do it yourself with a program such as EFILive.

There are many companies that can reflash your PCM, but here are a few. Most of these can rework your harness as well.

And if you want to give it a try yourself.....

Let us know if you to go forward with this project, I'm sure we'd all like to see your Suburban. Some of us may be able to help you out some too. Are you planning on running the overdrive trans that is behind the 8.1?
