Original ECU won't even know what's going on. We call it "spider". It's not as easy as just powering on ignition sparks, but similar attack.

How do you “silence” the original ECU? Won’t there be bus contention?

Sure, you will also need to drop transmission to replace that ecu too. It all depends on a car.
