Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Where are you reading you should get a new harness? You can get a harness made, but all you need to do is graft the LT1 harness to the '89 chassis harness.

2, now that i am probly goin to splice the harnesses can i run the stock 700r4 trans or do i have to run thr 4L60E trans
