LSX swap question

i recently bought an ls1 engine... the guy that sold it to me said that it was from a 1998 z28. the engine came with out the harness and i was wondering if i would be able to go to my local junk yard and buy a harness and use it with the engine or would it not work and should i just buy he lsx conversion harness from hawks... thank you

Wrong section, but there are allot of threads if you search that have great details on making the wiring work and even a member here that can do it for you, i just went carbed so i didn have to worry about all that.

It's at the top of this board.

There is a sticky on how to merge a LS1 and TPI harness.

Re: LSX swap question

if you've got no harness/ecu now, stay away from the 98 electronics! completely different beast than the other years and not as nicely supported as 99+. You may have to change a couple sensors (coolant temp comes to mind), but you're better off. if you're handy with a soldering iron, you can convert a truck harness for a fraction of the cost of the ls1 car harnesses
