If it comes with the wiring harness and computer, why not? Be aware you'll have to make a few modifications to the lpg system to get that working again.

DD if you go down that path...can you make a picture file about what you endured for the swap....I like the idea on this swap as being efi it allows for SGI setup to piggy back off the existing efi. SGI doesn't work in carby models.
