Default 04 gto ls1 into 98 camaro z28 NEED HELP!

I recently purchased a 2004 ls1 from a gto that I will be swapping into a 98 camaro z28. What conversion would I need to do to make it work, harness wise?

Should be just an engine swap, they are both LS1s.....keep the fbody accessories, oil pan, harness...etc

Harness from 5.7L F-body will work on 04 GTO 5.7L no issues. About the only thing that won't work easily is the later model throttle body. Longblock for Longblock is a direct swap. Oil pan and accessories are different.

Also use the '98 Coolant temp sensor and oil pressure sender.

Make sure you swap in your old sensors, ECT for sure.. they are different. Other than that.. as everyone stated.. just swap in the long block and maybe have a tuner check it.
