you NEED to find an ls6 with computer, wiring harness, trans...basically everything intact on it.

Getting anything else would just be a major headache. The problem is most recyclers dont like to remove all the wiring and computers as a whole, it's much easier for them to just cut the wires and rip the engine out. Their logic is that any new vette that needs the engine is going to have the wiring and computer already in it anyway.

If I was dropping the cah for a new LS6, I wouldn't mess with a used harness ripped out of a junk yard. Get one custom made for your application, it will take a lot of headache out of the project. Here's one company that can do it, I'm sure there's others:

keep us posted on your progress, I'd like to see how it turns out. Good Luck
