Franken(Mer)cruiser, 454 running 350 ignition?

[NHGuy]

Can my 1997 Thunderbolt V from a 350 operate the ignition of a base 454? I know the distributors are the same. The Bravo carb 454 uses the same knock sensor but a different module.

I'm just doing a little contemplating here. Haven't bought anything.

I'm also looking into putting a small block stroker together, it's just that the 454 answered the phone already. And it's a good buy.

There's also another 454 an hour away that's already dressed, that boat burned up before it ever launched. That one has exhaust, intake, distributor, brackets and pulleys. The distributor cap is melted, so if the ignition module is on the cap it's probably toast. Gotta see how much I can get it for if it's as described.

What about couplers? The nearby 454 is a fresh rebuilt & balanced 1992 truck motor with "RV2" cam, the 350 is a 1 piece rear seal 1997.

So back to the main concern. I understand a knock sensor is a contact microphone. I wonder if the knock modules hear different frequencies for the two different engines.
If that's the case the 454 would need a different ignition, but I really like the extra efficiency and control of the TB V.

Knock sensors do the work, the module just receives the signal from the sensor. So don't use the sensor from a 454 on a 350 or vise versa (note rock auto sells them real cheap).

Timing curve looks the same from both manuals I have looked at

Nevermind the coupler, I remembered another site & crossed it. It's supposed to be the same as what's on there.

No, you didn't understand what I wrote. Both use the same sensor part #. But there are 2 different controllers for the knock management. 1 for the 350 and another for the 454.

Yes, I understood what you wrote, but I believe your mis-informed. Either way you said "nevermind" so relax, it makes no difference.
