V6 to LS1 swap
I know there are threads already talking about this, but I want someone else's opinion. A few days ago I found an old broken down 2002 Camaro with an LS1 engine at my local junk yard and now that I have I want to do an engine swap!! Everything is good on the car even the electrical wiring. I've removed most of the wiring and the engine harness. What else should I do to make sure the swap goes smoothly?

Search for a user named zex_gs I believe his name is. He has a 99 firebird he did the swap on and the write up is in the conversion section
Basically you need to swap out the fuel tank, and fuel lines under the car and run a power wire for the ignition, pink cable I believe, and the ecu.
You shouldn't need any extra harnesses

This is in the wrong section. You don't "need" the tank and lines per say. V8's are returnless and v6's are return setup. You can keep the return setup and just get some different fuel rails and a regulator. Also. v6's are dbw and the pcm you have for that 02 v8 is cable, so get the pedals from it too.
