TBSS into 66 Nova
Im setting up a 66 Nova . 09 TBSS is the doner with 4l70e. I have harness tcm/ecm. Can someone please email me pin out for stock harness.
Also if I'm deleting the mechanical fan and running electric, is there a pin which needs to be installed?
Last any advice for cost effective best scenarios with mild cam upgrade ,stock intake and programming would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

How mild a cam? A bit more than stock? Or just shy of "dog shitting peach seeds" loping?

Oops forgot about that! LOL Here in Cali not either for pre-75.
If you want a cam with some lope but good power all the way up and down, look into the "High Lift Hot Cam" at WS6store, a vendor/sponsor here. It is basically the OLD GM Hot Cam with better lobes and higher lift (.600+/-) than the original (.525).

If you don't want to tune, about the biggest you can run is one of the drop-in truck cams such as the SUM-8718 205/217 112 + 2 .500/.500. Even the SUM-8712/SUM-8719 209/217 112 + 1 Stage one truck cams can "function" to get it to a tuner, but they run so much better with a tune.

Once you commit to a tune, the world is your oyster. We have standard and high lift versions of our Stage 2 truck cams (218/227 112 +2) that have a nice idle and work with a stock converter. The LS6 spring works well with the .525 lift SUM-8701. The TFS-16918-16 beehives are a great match for the SUM-8720 .600 lift version. The Stage 1 Ghost cam (222/233 115 + 3) is about the biggest that works well with a stock converter and needs a TFS-16918-16 beehive.. Stage 3 Truck (222/231 + 5 .545 lift) does as well and uses less expensive LS6 springs. From there, we have the gasket kit, damper bolt, LS2 chain. Pushrods as well if you're over .550 lift.
