Is there any advantage of one motor and computer vs the other. The 94 is of course an OB-1 and the 96 a OB-2. The reason I ask is, I have a good running 94 camaro LT1 (70,000) with basic CMC upgrades. It only needs about 700.00 worht of rollcage material to make it track legal. I am a welder so the install is free. The other car is 96 Firebird t-2 car with with a blown motor. It has a nice full cage ,but stock suspension.
If you had to keep one motor/computer to maintain, is one better than the other?
I am mainly afraid of the electrical/sensor side of things. But if there is any weak points of the motors, that would be helpful info also.
Does any one know of a good/fair electrical place near Orange County, California that can simplify the wireing on one of these car? (Removing the VAT and need lessless stuff) to a more race like setup.
I know I have asked a lot of questions, any help would be appricated.
Thanks,
Ed

Wouldn't it also be possible to swap the '94 long block to the '96 car, keep all the '96 sensors and electronics and call it a day? How bad is the shot motor in the '96? I also think it would be quicker to swap the motor and suspension onto the car with the cage, instead of building a cage in the 'better' car.

Yup, he could do that too. As far as the long block goes, just change over the crank hub, crank sensor wheel, and front cover, along with the knock sensor.

The other OBDII-related stuff (AIR, CCP, secondary O2's) would already be there in the '96, if not previously deleted.

Running the OBDI PCM makes it a little more friendly to deleting stuff like cats and EGR without setting the "check engine" light, or reprogramming, though.
