V6 to V8 wiring harness

I have a 91 RS with a V6 TPI, and I'm swapping to 86 305 TPI. Is there much difference in the wiring harness?

Car: 1991 Corvette Coupe
Engine: L98
Transmission: 700R4/4L60 same trans different name
2 injectors

the 305 might have a dual fan set up

length of wires

location of sensors

might be easier to use the correct harness
might be easier to splice your existing harness

never tried both yet, so i cant say for sure


also the 86 will be a MAF harness

your 91 will be a SD harness

hey you don't have a v6 with TPI its a v6 has MPFI. and its probably easier to buy a brand new wiring harness from painless performance

Find an uncut '86 TPI harness. It can't be that hard (look in the classifieds on this board, or post a wanted). You'll need the ECM as well.

if your on a budget, it is possible


easier to buy a whole new harness, prolly
i looked into this from every angle, and it doesnt seem hard to modify

keep in mind, my harness is SD and i am keeping it SD
if you want a go from a SD harness to a MAF harness, then it will be more complicated......still doable though
