Just for reference, when a swap like this (V6-> LS1 in an LS1 era car) has been discussed in the past the majority thought you would be better off to sell the V6 car and then buy an LS1 car. It would be cheaper, easier and would have better resale. There is a lot to change to put an LS1 in besides the engine, or so I am told.

the harness is different.....My harness came out of an auto car...it was easy to adapt it to work with the T56. All I had to do was eliminate some wires and add some for the reverse lockout. However, getting a T56 harness to work with 4L60 would be a big PITA and expensive. You have to add lots of wires to control the trans and also need the connetors for the trans......

dude it's cheaper to get a stand along harness than to buy a new one from the dealer. and i don't understand why you are still trying to hook the ls1 harness to a v6. you have to change ou the whole engine harness and add some wires.
