Anybody bought one of the LS1 swap harness' on ebay? The guy removes all the unwanted stuff and removes the VATS and sells them for around $450.....
Sellers name is chevy_tpi. Is this an unreasonable price?

Can you use an unmodified harness and just get the ECM flashed?

Thanks

Is he selling the pcm and harness for $450?

Seems like excellent value with the PCM included. While using an unmodified harness is possible, some of these have double the stuff in them that you need and lengths are variable, so good luck with trying to make them neat and tidy under the hood.

Fixed.

IMO, "value" is largely dependent upon whether it's worth what you paid for it, once it's in your hands. I think that it's undeniable that it's a low price - but, until someone here bites the bullet & buys one, no-one will know whether or not it's a good value... (And I apologize if I'm being a bit pedantic with that...)

Speaking only for myself, if I were to pay for an aftermarket harness for my swap (and I wish to God I could afford to!!), I'd get a Speartech harness - no questions about that one...

(Just my 2c...)

Good points....ultimate quality when in one's hands is the right measure...I also should have added that I dont know how that harness and PCM can be done for that price...

Speartech....

Ya thats for the modified harness WITH pcm. I thought the price sounded good just didnt know if anybody has actually bought one from him.

So the main problem with using a stock wiring harness would be... having enough length to mount pcm where you want and making it look good..? But it would work just to get somethin going by getting the pcm flashed?

Also will a f-body harness work on an LQ4 6.0? Some body told me the injector clips were different

Thanks for the input guys, ill have to check out speartech

trying to decide between carb and efi

Getting the right harness is important. I had my harness made, and I installed it and things just were not working right. I checked the PCM, and lots of engine and tranny stuff and at the end of the day several items on harness were not right and I pulled it and had Speartech rework it.

The truck has run like a champ ever since.

Cheaper is often not better.
