why do you just use the engine wiring harness if u were swappin a LS1/LT1 from a newer camaro? why dont you pull the entire engine and chassis wiring harness?

 

Try plugging the newer car's chassis harness into your thirdgen car's components and let us know how that goes...

 

im well aware of that but isnt it easier to just cut the ends and crimp on the 3rd gen plugs to the wires?

 

About how many connectors do you estimate you'd have to splice to graft a complete LS1 chassis harness into a 3rd gen chassis?

Headlights...turn signals...headlight switch...high beam switch...turn signal switch...radio...HVAC...ignition...power windows...door locks...brake lights, side markers, and the list goes on. And then there are the LS1 chassis harness wires which have no function on a 3rd gen: airbag, traction control, ABS, etc.

On the other hand, approximately 12 wires (from memory) to connect an LS1 engine harness to a typical 3rd gen chassis harness at connectors C100 and C207. Add in a few 12VDC feeds, relays for the fans and fuel pump, and you're done.

 

ah alright lol thats exactly the answer i was lookin for..bc i was really wondering..i need to start pulling my LS1 and harness out then
