Getting lost with swap, TBSS, truck coils and blue/green harness

Getting lost with swap, TBSS, truck coils and blue/green harness
So I purchased a 2001 Ls1 to drop into my 51 chevy truck. I was given a lot of random components with the purchase of the engine and I'm trying to work with what I've got. Here's the list so far
It's on a stock cam with 241 heads.
I wont be installing EGR ,VATS or CATS
blue/Green engine harness
I purchased compatible pcm 896 i believe
truck coils on truck brackets (different connectors than what's on harness I've found)
I purchased a TBSS intake manifold, fuel rail with injectors and a 87mm TBSS throttle body
So my question is am I in over my head? Will these components work with the engine? I appreciate any help. Do you think if I just sent the harness in with pcm with my list of components i could get back a working solution?

No, you are not over your head, I would call a wiring place that deals with what you are talking about and it will probably end your concern.
I think these people are vendors here. https://www.psiconversion.com/contact/

ok that's encouragement in the right direction. I appreciate the link. I'll see what I can find there. Next bit of confusion is whether or not the TBSS intake manifold will fit on my 241 heads. I see the cathedral style ports on my heads but most intake manifolds seem to have rectangular ports. Do these work together? I sold an Ls6 intake manifold and still have a new set of gaskets for it and they're definitely a different shape than the ports on my heads. Whats the deal?

I'll have to grab the part number at home but it's the circle throttle body opening. I just got it from a member here on the board. The harness appears to be drive by wire blue/green connectors that's all I know about the harness. I don't know how to differentiate them

If you go drive by wire, you'll need the correct matching pedal & TAC module to go with the blue/green ecm. If cable, you do not need either. I think that ecm can run a cable throttle body. I believe all TBSS were drive by wire. I'll PM you the contact info for a company that does wiring for all my swaps. Scott

OK just wanted to make sure you had the right intake. Like it was said before in order to go dbw you will need matching TAC module , pedal and ecm. Here is another option if want to go dbc, if like to go cable , just get a harness ecm from 2003 - 07 Express van or Savanna van. The great thing about these Van harness, they are longer which allows you the ability to locate the ecm any where you want even inside the cab if like. This is something to consider, it can be a hassle locating all the dbw parts piece by piece , just make sure everything matches if you decide to go dbw , get it from the same truck.

Well I ended up getting that ecu for this harness and I installed the tbss intake manifold. So my next big step will be to send out the harness and have it made to work with the setup. I'm guessing they'll have to change injector connectors and maybe some more. Probably going to go with dbc
