Default LS1 to Truck coils... Help...

I am upgrading my stock LS1 coils to truck coils and have a few questions.

1. Can I use the wiring from the LS1 coils that are basically run through the mount or do I need a new wiring harness for that? I have BS3.

2. Can I just reuse the LS1 mount and mount the new truck coils to it?

3. Will the upgraded wires that I just bought plug into the truck coils and work?

What is it I need to do to make this conversion work!?

Thanks

Why would you want to swap.
The stock LS1 coils can handle some prety tough power

you need the coils, brackets and the harness for it to work. the truck and car coil brackets are different, they wont bolt into the others brackets. the coils have different connections untill they get to the big *** white plugs, the white plugs are the same. i used the truck coils and they required longer wires.
