Wiring harness & ECU

I have read the "sticky" on the V6/V8 swap but it's a bit vague. I am swapping a 91 TPI 350 in place of the original 3.1 V6 into my 1992 Camaro. I am wondering if I can install the V8 Ecu into the original (V6) under-dash harness based on the following thread:

I have the TPI V8 engine harness but not the V8 under-dash harness....

Re: Wiring harness & ECU

As I said in my original post, I have read this "sticky".

It's vague because there are too many possible combinations for the details beyond what is listed.

The ECM should plug into your V6 dash harness.

Re: Wiring harness & ECU

It plugs in fine, but is the only way to know if it's going to work is by trying to start the car???

Re: Wiring harness & ECU

I'm sure there's threads on LS1 swaps and keeping the 90-92 stock gauges but I've been searching and can't find anything, can someone please post a link below on that topic
