Default buying a ls3 crate motor and im lost..

I am looking to buy a ls3 crate motor from GM, issues i have doing such. what else do i need to buy to make it actually run in my hotrod?

I already have a t56 gto transmission and a new clutch kit for the tranny.. but what wiring harness will i need to buy? what ecm? do i need to buy a fuel pedal to use the throttlebody like the ls2's have.. do i need to buy sensors for the motor. am i missing anything else? I want to buy everything in one shot if I do go this route and all and any help is welcome on this matter.

Thank You in advance

remember all i have is the transmission and the clutch.. i have nothing else and this will be going into a 94 rx7

it is a gm performance computer that comes with your harness all your sensors, your computer, and a gas pedal for the drive by wire.

you will have to use aftermarket gauges.

I am running our M-90 WBO2 controller on our LS3 427 SS. It allowed me to skip alot of the Mazda wiring headaches and I am able to run the stock gauges in my 1994 FD RX-7.

Good luck with your swap...I've had alot of fun with mine so far!
