Don''t most people put the LS1 in the LT1 based cars? Oh well. I get why you''re doing it though. I have also been "notified" that the harness has to be swapped. _____________________________ 94 Z28, Moroso CAI, Edlebrock headers, 3" pipe, cam, MSD and the t-56. She's fast...

I belive it''s just the main harness and ECU that has to be changed. _____________________________ 94 Z28, Moroso CAI, Edlebrock headers, 3" pipe, cam, MSD and the t-56. She's fast...
