Default ECM retro-fit?

Has anyone here heard of a retro-fit putting an LT1 computer into an L98 car?

The LT1 OBD1 PCM uses an Opti spark for ignition controls. Unless you are able to take the optical sensors from that ignition and mount them into a large diameter HEI distributor there is no way to get the LT1 PCM or the earlier ECM to work in an L98. I have heard of one instance of a person doing this but I have not seen anything else about it and I don't know who this person was that did this.

Thanks for the reply. I knew it had to be more than just a "Plug-n-play"
deal. Between this topic and another I've got going, I'm really starting to wonder where/how I came up with this stuff.

I believe it can be done with a complete engine/ECM swapout.
