I'm just going to throw this out there since I really have never heared of anyone attempting this.
If you can make an engine harness work by using plugs from another (MPFI, OBD1, etc.) why couldnt you do the same with what he is talkin about doin?
Sure its pointless cause it basically assbackwards, but im sure it could be done with
alittle thought and a wire diagram. Especially if thats all he has to work with at the moment.

I'm just a naturally curious person.
