Drive by Wire Conversion I'm interested in having the drive by wire in the car when I do the LS1. Now, if I get in a hurry, I'll end up buying an LS1 w/o that combination.
I'm thinking that what I'd need to get there then would be:
Throttle body
Tach module
Electronic pedal
Pedal to module harness
Anything else? Is this stuff found relatively easy? From what I've seen, a new throttle body is pretty expensive.
I'm trying to decide if I should wait on a Corvette pullout. Of course, if I find one, it may not have all those parts available anyway.
Any thoughts on what I should expect to pay for that list of stuff? (I do have some prices for it new.)
Oh, and by the way: One thing that I just realized I would need is something for engaging the cruise control. Any ideas on what I'd need to do that? I have a Tilt/Telescopic column out of a 69 Olds in my 56 now. The current cruise has the old style push button arm on the column on the left.
