Are you running DBW or DBC?

I like the dbc motors but that preference! www.lt1swap.com should help you on the harness. 799 heads, cam choice depends on how you want the engine to behave. I'd do the comp cam Trunion upgrade to the rocker. Call Texas Speed for cam info, they have wonderful customer service! 10/10 IMO. Also keep in mind if you want a manual tranny you can't use 98-00 6.0 engines without machining the end of the crank.
Also upgrade to ls2 timing set if you change cams.
