Default adding the Bosche ECU alone makes it not worth the effort.

besides, if JET chips is for real, you will
be able to supercharge your 12V 2.8 soon
enough.. have patience young grasshopper,
after all.. you just got here.
remember.. it's the journey that matters, not
the destination.

Default Everything is possible...for a price. But if your motivation is power, you'd be better served...

putting the money toward the full 230HP TDL Racing conversion. Probably cheaper than an engine swap and more horses. Unless you Supercharge it, there isn't a 30v that can touch 230 horses.

Sell the '96 and buy a '98; cheaper in the long run
