Default Converting 5.3 to LS1 or LS6 intake - questions

I've been trying to read as much as I can but still have some questions. I am looking at getting a LM7 5.3 and swapping an LS1 or LS6 intake onto it, would I then just run the appropriate injectors for whichever intake I use? Also, if I were to get a standalone harness would any 24x LS1 style harness then work for the motor?

Yup. And LS1 and LS6 use the same connectors. I converted to LS6 valley cover while I was there.

Watch your valley cover bolts, they may need to be changed so the bolt heads don't keep the intake up off the cylinder heads.
