anyone making LT1 swap harness

I have the lt1 dropped in my trans am and one of the things need done it that wiring. 86 carb to 95 lt1. harness is out of a 95 caprice. I am trying to determine whether i should just attempt to wire the car up myself or whether it would be easier to buy a swap harness that has been cut down to stand alone, have a custom one made to plug and play, or have my harness reworked by someone else. So what are my options?

A member on here, Pocket, can custom make a harness (new). Drop him a pm, though it may take him some time as I believe it's only a side project for him.

Re: anyone making LT1 swap harness

Anyone else make the harness, I want a bare bones one, that keeps ac and accessories running like stock, just no ecm. The engine was a 350 TBI, now it's a 355 with 4bbl Edelbrock.

The same member that I referred to in post #2. Pocket. He can make one how ever you need. He's the OP of the other thread you posted in. Although to be fair, what you're for wiring harness is not hard to do, read the other threads Pocket has started on harnesses.

Pocket is an expert and he does make them new. Most, if not all, other sources will be stand alone type and not specfic to your car. You could also check the classified boards, maybe someone is selling something close to what you want.

Pocket, I'm a new member and I'm about to do a lt1 swap. I have a 86 camaro iroc and I'm using a lt1 engine out of a 95 camaro z28. I have the wiring harness, ecm ect. I'm using the transmission out of the 95 camaro z28 as well. Are you still making plug and play wiring harness for this swap. I'm planning on keeping a/c. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Good morning to everyone. I'm also looking for the gentleman name pocket to rework my Lt1 harness that's going into a 93 Chevy caprice. Please forward me any information about this person. I appreciate it very much.

Re: anyone making LT1 swap harness

If anyone is doing this themselves I could help answer questions about the wiring. I can also help with tuning 94-95 lt1 ecm.
