swap

Im doing the same swap, I have a LT1 with elderbrock preformer heads and cam, I have not startd doing the sweap yet but i was wondering how hard was your wiring harness. did you run into probelms, and are you using teh ECM from the 87 or a ECM for a LT1? I have a ECM out of a 97 z28 and was gonna ust that....thansk for any info you can help me with, Im in San antonio.....

programming answers

the swap is easy the only hard thing to do is drilling a new hole for the passanger motor mount. i got the wire harness from currentperformance.com they made me a closed loop system that connects the ecm to the motor and allows it to run with out any major wireing just connect 3 wires crank signal, 12 volt power on run and start and the fuel pump wire. it cost me $550 but they can make one for you if you have an old harness for about $375. as for the programming i found some software for sale called lt1 edit, and i am going to buy that. if the motor is a 97 than it will work but if it is not than you have to program that ecm
