This is not completely correct, or at the very least misleading.

No, he can't get an ECU capable of supporting the LT5 with a wiring harness for 1400 that can support the engine with stock sensors.

He may be able to get the generic unit and a generic wiring harness for 1400, but the cost to put that on his engine will far exceed 1400. It would also require him to be a wiring pro and have extensive experience setting up and programming ECUs. Same applies to the Holley unit. He isn't going to get something plug and play for 2k.

OP's cheapest easiest route is to buy one of the many OEM NOS harnesses that is for sale if he doesn't have an engine harness. Then either buy a stock ECU or megasquirt. He will then have to find someone to build him a standalone dash harness if he isn't capable of building one.

No matter how he approaches this, he's easily looking at 5k to integrate this engine into another car.
