Yes there is:
1) megasquirt will run the injectors no problem,
2) I have finished designing the brackets and crank trigger wheel to mount the FORD EDIS-6 wasted spark system on the 4200 - this system is real easy to find in the boneyards it came on ford 3.8 and 4.0 V6's in ranger PU's and aerostar minivans. Megasquirt supports the EDIS system in its software so with a little wiring we now have a stand alone iginition system for this engine.
The only item that needs to be completed yet is an adapter block/plate to mount a non-drive by wire throttle valve onto the manifold. This block/plate would need to be made also.
Once I get the engine installed and running on with MS and the EDIS system I plan on getting the cam advance drive/feedback working - the engine will run without the cam adjustment hooked up, the torque curve will be a little different than factory thats all.
So we are free of the GM electronics.
