Is a buying a stand alone wiring harness worth the money or is it easy to modify the stock harness?

The engine is a 2001 LS1 from a Camaro SS.

Will be swapped into a BMW.

It depends on what you call easy. I have about 3 or 4 hours in mine and maybe $30.00. You might be more comfortable spending a couple hundred for the peace of mind of a professional harness if you are not that familiar with wiring. It comes down to (like most things) your skill, ability, confidence, budget, and time. There is plenty of info here and LT1swap.com to modify your harness; there are also sponsors here who sell good products.

Thanks for your reply!

Do you have any links do DIY-guides regarding modifying the stock harness?

I did my harness, I used the info on lt1swap.com, what BMW are you doing?

I have been looking at pre-made harnesses from Painless etc. but would like to save the money if the modifications needed on the stock one are minor.

Thanks for the link - I will make sure to check it out!
