How hard is the LS1 to Fox Swap?
Hey guys today I come to you with a question. How hard is the LS1 to Foxbody swap? I can get a 89 LX Coupe that is in really good shape, AJE K Member set up for an LSx, Team Z Rear Suspension Kit, Coilovers Front and Rear, Cobra Brakes on Front, GT Brakes on Rear. The rear has 31 Spline Axles, a Locker, and 3.73 Gears. And it was repainted about a year ago to the color of Torch Red. So its in great shape, it also has a 4 point cage and can come with Corbeau's which I would get, all for 2500 bucks. Now this would be a DD so EFI, A/C, P/S, and all the creature comforts (radio). So how hard is the complete swap? Wiring and all? I would like to do a LS1 and a T56 because I have a friends uncle selling one with ECM. Maybe an Aftermarket Harness? I'm not the best at wiring, and I would be doing most of the swap at VoTech next year as a project.

If you can read, you can wire it. I used Speartech's harness and it was mindlessly easy. Most of it connects to the engine sensors and is extremely self explanatory, then hook up constant 12v, keyed 12V and run a wire from the supplied GM fuel pump relay back to your pump. That's the majority of it and Speartech supplies a big easy to read labeled picture diagram.
Honestly after getting it hooked up, I'd realized I probably could have done the harness myself. But the convenience was nice and my version wouldn't be as pretty.
