Default Should i use drive by wire or?

Swapping an 07 corvette ls2 t-56 into a 66 nova. Just wondering if i should stick with the drive by wire or convert? I need to buy a complete harness either way. Any suggestions on who to get the harness from? THANKS FOR THE TIPS.

I have drive by wire and am very happy with it. It makes it very easy to add cruise control, no separate module. You LS2 will be even easier than my LS1, all you need is the pedal. I had to get a separate TAC module. Speartech.com did my harness and if he is not the best, he is one of them. Great product and super customer service and technical support.
