Well I haven't done anything like that but according to what I've heard from others on these boards, you'll need a new wire harness and as for the computer itself I'm not sure, maybe you can just have it reprogrammed for a 350 or somethin. If I were you I'd ask a GM/Pontiac dealer about it if nobody else here can help.

Car: 1991 Corvette Coupe
Engine: L98
Transmission: 700R4/4L60 same trans different name
you will need the engine (duh)
tranny
radiator
adjustable fuel pressure regulator with a fuel return port (YOU DO NOT NEED A NEW PUMP AS LONG AS YOUR CURRENT ONE WORKS)
motor mounts
need to move a brake line
upper&lower radiator hoses
headers or some sort of exhaust

and since you do not have emissions, you do not need a wiring harness because you are doing this non-CC
