Can I get Away with Replacing a Cherokee PS with a Lucent PSU in an Octane 2?

RE: Can I get Away with Replacing a Cherokee PS with a Lucent PSU in an Octane 2?
It's likely that in a lightly loaded system it could work, but I don't know if there's some kind of hardware lockout that will prevent the V8 from firing up. In any case, the real damage possible is to the power supply itself from over current.

Lucent PSUs are not very reliable beasts, so I'd frankly advise against it lest you break the entire unit.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
