We've done a few of them. Give us a call at 732-691-6531. Are you sticking with the DBW or going DBC?

Why are you using a fwd engine? Life would be a whole lot easier with a 5.3 from a rwd truck/suv.

You don't have to change the accessories to one that comes from a CAR with a 5.3, as the only ones that did was the newer Impala SS and its counterparts. You can use the truck accessories, they just need to be modified a little bit. I ran them that way for almost 3 years like that with nary a hiccup.

Not knocking you at all, but if you have to ask for a schematic for combining both wiring harnesses together, then maybe you should stick to the LT1, or pay someone to do the combining of the harnesses for you.

*rant*I've done everything on my swap myself, besides rebuilding the trans. The rear gears/differential, initial install, wiring, TC install, Cam install, Tuning (with some help from Ed Hutchins)were all done by me. The reason for this is because I had my harness reworked by a vendor on this site, and on the initial startup, it would idle at oh say 2500-3000rpm. He blamed me, and said I installed it wrong, so I pulled the harness apart, and instead of REMOVING the unneeded wires, they were stagger-cut and tucked back in the harness, pretty half assed for the ~800.00 I paid for his services. He will remain nameless as I'm not gonna start bashing him, but I was beyond pissed at the his services rendered. *end rant*

Anyway, what was the question?
