Default lsx into 94 bird, wut harness options?

ive got 94 firebird that im about to start working on. i havent bought a harness yet and im wondering wut r all of my options? i know speartech makes a harness but im trying to do this on as cheap as possible budget "im sure most of you guys know how that is" so far ive bought all new brakes and a th350 and have slowly been getting parts. ive actually thought about going the 5.3 route cause those r just so damn cheap and u dont lose to much power over an ls1. i know i need the usuall ls1 stuff "acc,k-member" but im still not to clear on quite a few things. ive been reading as many posts as i can find on here but to tell u the truth ive never been this deep into a car so im on new territory. hell i dont know **** about auto's and from my understanding i thought th350's had a different bolt pattern than lsx engines. i read somewhere i have to buy shims for the flexplate, and what about the input shaft is that different? any help would be great

You can build your own harness.. it's easy.

As far as the Tranny, a 350 will bolt up, you will need a Crank Spacer. I'm not sure what Flex Plate you will be needing, I know you will need the Stall for a 350. Hopefully someone with that knowledge can chime in.

if you can get your hands on a ls1 harness try the guys a current performance they take your ls1 harness and modify it to work with your car they told me $175 thats a hell of a lot cheaper than the 500 speartech charges..... if u r confident in your wiring skills i was told its only about 8 wires that need to b swaped around.......good luck on your swap!

Yea, there isn't many wires that actually need to be moved in the Harness. Alot get deleted out if you want to gut it.
