Default AEM ?'s on older TD swap

I have an 87 Shelby GLHS and was wondering if i swap a srt motor into it ( which i have ready to install) will the aem standalone work just plugged into the srt engine harness or is there something else I would need to do. Iknow the aem ems is plug n play for the srt. any info would be very appreciated.

The ems plugs into the stock pcm. Are you going to be runnign a stock pcm with the Omni?

Did you already swap the SRT engine, you have to have a whole nother k member to swap in the engine. Good luck, i have 2 omnis at my disposal and a SRT engine/tranny and im not attempting it.

if you dont plan on running any factory gauges i would just leave the factory ECU off (it dosnt do any thing but gauges), if not you wil need an srt gauge cluster

nah you dont need a diff. k frame. there are probably about 10 of these swaps already done in the td community. from glhs, csx, to daytonas, there is some fab work for motor mounts but have been figured out.


back to the ems. no i dont need it to run srt gauges.

The powertrain doesn't even touch the K member except for a bobble strut.
This is a fairly easy swap, mechanically speaking.

That being said, I wouldnt bother swapping in the SRT electronics just to use a programmable engine management system anyway.

I'd say buy a comeplete stand-alone like Big Stuff or similar.

If you look at the connector pin-outs given to you in the instructions you'll notice that the AEM uses the stock PCM to control the alternator.

Also, if you search AEM forums, you'll notice that the posts pretty much say what i just stated above....But it also says you may get away with wiring in an old-school voltage regulator to bypass it.

I was debating doing this for my GLHT. I was going to use my SRT's stand alone now that there are some good stock computer programmers. Of course I have a megasquirt setting at the crib waiting to go in so who knows what will happen.
