Anyone else using MegaSquirt on a LA motor?

I used "cheapy" LS coils as well. Never had a moments bit of trouble from them. Reading this is like dejavu! Including the pix of crank trigger. The LS boys will never know how easy they got it! I mounted my coils on frame rails both sides. Excellent advice on the brackets!

You're right. The simplicity of the LS makes it very attractive to a hot rodder. There's no wonder it is now cliche' to LS swap something. I have no idea what it's like to have a plethora of aftermarket support for an engine platform. Heck the physical size of the LS is even favorable. My next project will have a Gen3 Hemi (likely turbo) and I've pretty much written off that it will be an A-body because I don't want to deal with all the crap that comes along with putting the physically large engine in a small engine compartment.
