Any GUFB type EEC-IV or equivalent ECM should work. You just have to be careful and not burn the traces up in the ECM. You will need to look at the wiring diagrams for both setups to confirm things like electric fan control etc. etc. This will help in determining which EEC-IV ECM is best for your application. Some EEC-IV's do not have the hardware installed to be able to run electric fans etc.
