disassemble the stock ECU case and put the starion guts inside?


Yes. You have to grind/saw/dremel one of the connector holes bigger/wider. I have not tried it with an 87 ecu, but I think it will fit. Makes mounting the ecu a lot easier.


My 87 donor had an 89 ECU in it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I took the cover from the Quest and the guts and mounted to the Monty's base. This was a simple matter of JB for a couple of the hold-down posts on the inside, and a couple lined up as is IIRC. Maybe had to drill a new hole in the side of the cover for the screws to hold it on.

Either way is likely easier that trying to get the Quest ECU base to bolt under the Monty dash.

For the grommet on the harness-through-firewall, I used the die grinder to enlarge mine. Tried to muscle it in first, but had too much trouble and was worried about it wrinkling and not being weather tight enough.

Damn that was fun back then working on it... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
