Default I Need HELP!!! Just a couple quick questions.

I have a 2000 Z28. I built a 408 and it has a 6 Speed. My car is wrecked and has a salvaged title. I need a rolling chasis bad. I have looked here and Ebay and everywhere else to find a cheap car to put my stuff in. Not having much luck with finding anything to suit me. Before people start saying do a search I have. I found a couple of V6 cars 00-01 that I can get pretty cheap. My questions are what do I have to do to the V6 cars wiring or gauges to make my PCM and wiring harness work? What do I have to do to the fuel system and throttle cable? I know this has been asked before but all I could find was people wanting to put LS1's into 93-97 cars. I understand everything about the K-memeber and suspension and this is no big deal. Thanks. Any input would be appriciated. Would I need to send my harness to Speartech?

Your best bet would be to buy the v6 car and swap EVERYTHING over. Then you know the gauges, fuel system, and wiring is all correct and none of it will be hacked up.
