Yes and no. If it’s a lq9, it’s a gen 3 which means the knock sensors are in different locations and the reluctor wheel will read differently as well. Can it work? Yes. Is it direct 100% slap in and go? No

Yeah sure it isn't impossible and it is somewhat simple it just requires more parts and such that take away from the go fast stuff
