LS6 electronics I have a 62 Vette with an LS1 and a T56. I used a 98 PCM and I modified the factory harness. It works great, but is there better? 
I am starting a project on a 63 Split Window Vette and plan to use an LS6 with a T56. I have an 02 T/A PCM but no wiring harness.
Now the question,
What is the best year PCM and harness to use for a project like this and why? I do not care if I need to get a different year PCM.
Thanks for any input.

Coolvet, what was your experience with howells harness like??? I had several problems with mine, specificly the PCM connectors being switched, improper VSS connector, and the O2 plugs being switched. They were never able to really help me with my problems, (speartech helped out on that) but when i finally did figure out what was wrong they were able to repair it witout trouble.
Overall I dont think I would purchase another harness from them, or TPIS since that is the distributer I actually got it from.

I also think the newer computers are better for upgrading with higher maf tables and higher resolution. So if upgrading to ls6 I would think this would be important.
