When you did your swap did you use the factory harness or did you purchase a painless harness to make life easy. I've been told I should purchase a new gas tank with a fuel pump mounted in the tank, but if I can avaiod an $800 gas tank that would be nice too. Did you have to do any accessory relocation? Any pictures? What are some of the things I should look out for?

Post some pics of the 79. I called down to Street & Performance and they were helpful. After speaking to them they made it seem extremely easy. In fact those were his words when I told him the swap details. They did an 80 firebaird and posted pics and discussion.

apparently they do a boat load of swaps and installs. I plan on doing a throttle by cable over wire install. I hate electronics and those hideous pedals

When i bought my engine i was able to get the complete harness with it. I found wiring diagrams/Pinouts online and converted the harness myself to save $$. For the gas tank i left my stock tank and just put an inline fuel pump with the corvette filter/regulator, works fine! And for acc i used the stock ones. Engine was out of a 98 T/A. Look out for crap motor mount adapter plates!!! I got the carshop 1" setback plates and used clamshell mounts and motor just sit right in.
