3rd Gen swap. Wiring harness?

Just want to see how everyone went about there harness on there swap.
Did you build your own using the tpi/tbi harness and the ls1 harness? Did you have Pocket do it? Did you buy a stand alone?

Thanks

NAPA had the MetriPak pins, truck harness had the right wires in the right gauge and color as well as the LS1 counterpart connectors.

I integrated my LS1 Harness into my Car, I know it's not a 3rd Gen F-body, but the wiring is similar.

If you are a member of thirdgen.org there is a member there named Pocket (think hes a member here too of the same name) that will custom build you a harness that's plug and play into your car.

with the help of Pocket (he's around here sometimes too, but always on tgo) and a Helms manual, I modified my factory C100 & C207 plugs to connect to the new engine harness I pulled from a 00 truck

Cainholio - do you have the Napa part numbers for tthe MetriPak replacement pins ?. I have been looking for pins but not much luck, I have not tried Napa yet. and if you have the part number. that would help. (both male and female).

I have rebuild my LS1 harness into a standalone and rebuilt one of the fuse boxes and now want to connect them with the MetricPak connectors so that I can removed thing without removing the whole harness (if needed).

thanks.
