97 to 94 lt1 engine swap

hey i bought the body of a 97 camaro and an engine out of a 94 camaro that i will be putting in. im building the engine at the moment and im coming closer to putting it in. however, im unsure of a few things....mainly the wiring. i have a 94 computer and 94 wiring harness for the engine and i would like to know how to make this work with the dash harness out of my 97. the connections all match up but i was told i may have to switch some pins on the connections to have everything work properly. so someone please feel free to fill me in on whatever its going to take to make this happen. i know its possible but this is my first f-body build so im unsure of a few things. also, will i pass emissions and be able to use a modis scanner to check codes and few engine data. thanks to anyone that can help me out

Welcome to thirdgen.org.

Sort of. . .

You see, "third generation" f-bodies were 1982-1992 model years. 1994 and 1997 are "fourth generation". So, by the rules you agreed to when you signed up, that type of discussion isn't allowed here. You might try LS1LT1.com or other Camaro/Firebird boards that cover those years. If someone here wants to PM you, that's fine.

In general, you can't put older engine/emissions in a newer chassis. So, technically, the swap you're talking about isn't legal. Whether it would "pass" - that's a different question.
