Default 2006 gto ls2 swap

I recently acquired a ls2 motor and auto transmission harness / ecm. I didn’t get a tcm ( I’m guessing it needs one?) or pedal . I’m swapping this into my 64 impala and would I be able to get this items elsewhere by using the vin number or what options would I have . Any help is appreciated.

If you have the GTO's VIN it will go a long way in sourcing parts.
You DO want to get the correct gas pedal and all that goes with it.
I'm not sure your tranny has a built in control module or not. Some do, others don't.
Do a little homework and find these things out. Lots of books on the subject.

You might be ahead by getting the Holley Terminator X Max w/ transmission controller and DBW.

I second this!! Well worth the investment. Little more up front, but pays dividends in the long term.

The self learn and tuning the Holley does is worth the price. No more trying to find someone just to tune it if you ever hoop it up. Just imagine, some people do it in stages over a few years. Having to tune it over and over.

I like the Holley stuff for sure but if you already have the ecm and don't plan on doing much as far as performance upgrades the factory ecm works very well plus you have obdII. You should look up and call Bill at BP Automotive.
