Default ls1 in a v-6 car?

Anyone put an LS1 in a v-6 car? Obviously, it goes right in, but I'm wondering if its as simple as just getting a v-8 harness? We have a customer asking about it and we havent done this.

Into what car? Yes it can be done, but think of the requirements with 2 more cylinders. You'll need a stronger fuel pump, maybe even thicker fuel lines. How good is the V6's drivetrain? Might need to upgrade some parts there too.

What the customer is thinking is to strip the car to make a track oriented street car. This would be a turbo car, so all new fuel system anyway.

in that case it would be a piece of cake, using BS3


the ls1 harness doesnot plug right into the v6 side, you will need to do some splicing if you attemt to usea stock harness/pcm.
