S10 wiring
Hey guys, i have a 98 s10 that im looking to put an LS1 into. I was wondering what the best wiring harness to use would be. I was looking at the Perfect Hi RPM system from Painless Performance. It comes with the harness, camshaft, and the computer. It seemed like a pretty good deal to me. Also i heard the s10 computer could work with an LS1.. is this true?

A siverado uses the same PCM as a S10 or Astro Van for a 4.3, it also uses the same PCM for the Gen3 motor, so why couldn't you use the S10 PCM for the Gen3 motor, since the only differance is the OS, which is changable

That post was made in 2005... tell them to update the thread, cause a lot of that info is old and incorrect.

new info is always welcome! just curious, have you actually done this? I just cant believe I never ran across this before. I just wonder if the tuning and adapting the old harness comp/ to the new motor is easier than using a new harness/ comp? sounds interesting for sure though.

The PCM will swap if its the right year, Ive have two 4.3 PCMs on my swaps. I prefer them because you can grab them for $30-50 compared to the $100-120 on V8 PCMs. You have to tune the PCM either way so who cares what it originally came with
4.3 harnesses can be adapted from most any year. A handful of connectors will need to replaced or added and the whole thing reworked. Its a big job
