[DeTomaso] Engine Control Unit Mounting Location

[Dave Doddek]

I mounted a friends eec4 behind the passenger seat.  But if you have a
newer ecm, it might be designed to mount in the engine compartment.  If it
was originally mounted under the hood, then I would just mount it on the
firewall low where the air is cooler.

for my SVT 5.4L SOHC, supercharged, intercooled, EFI, crank ignition Ford
Lightning modular engine. This ECU is about 16" long by 6" wide, and 2"
thick. It's got two cables that plug into it, along with the usual 12VDC
power, ground, and a vacuum connection.

engine bay. I'm kind of leery regarding the engine bay since heat, cold,
vibration, and all that stuff isn't good for electronic reliability. And I
want this to be reliable! Very, very reliable.
