Figured that Dave would get this swap done and running. As for the AEM ECU; they make plug in units for mostly imports and if you are a member of the auto trans club as I am, you are S.O.L. With the AEM it appears that you must start the tuning from scratch but is there a work-around for the DOD or VVT? . Eventually there is a work around for everything it seems as the Ecotec guys have proven but don't see much in the way of managing control of this engine with an auto. This engine is the next logical step beyond the 3800 and I hope that it catches on. ------------------

The AEM will work with the DBW and VVT. I used an Infinity-6 and made the harness myself. A lot of the sensors are AEM specific and it wasn't bad to do. I did have to swap the Saab VR crank sensor for the Camaro 3.6 hall effect type to make it work.

You're a genius with mechanical stuff... yet you shoot a vertical video  ... and then can't figure out how to embed it.

I'm pretty sure the embedding wasn't working before, because the video was set to only be visible to those who had the URL. It seems that changed (I don't see a warning on YouTube about this when I view the video any more), which likely 'fixed' the embedding problem.

I think only the 2016+ Gen IV High Feature engines have cylinder deactivation. Most of the higher end consumer grade aftermarket ECM solutions, like the AEM Infinity or Haltech Elite can handle both DOD and VVT, I think.
The only big thing that most of the solutions in this range still can't do, is direct injection, because the injectors are so different, electronically, from traditional SFI injectors, and from the rest of the electronics in the system. I'm pretty sure that at least Haltech and AEM are both working on solutions to be able to run direct injection systems, though.

When I get to my engine swap the engines I'm most interested in are the High Feature 6 and the Ecotec. What manuals work with the High Feature without adapter plates?

Check Mender's thread.
He's found a way to adapt a Quad 4 trans to work.

I am considering the LFX with a Quad 4 Getrag. Won't be anytime soon, however.
