What do I need in order to go dbw? I know I'll need the throttle body, pedal and controller. What ecm and harness should I look for? I'm assuming I can get a psi harness, but is there a factory harness I can use? I'd like to try to find an ecm and possibly harness local that would work. What cars/trucks would they come out of?

Well... I got my LQ4 striped down. Looked pretty good inside. No lip in the cylinders and some of the cross hatch was still visible. Sending it to the machine shop tomorrow.
Looking to have the block bored and hot tanked, the mains line honed and the cam bearings pressed in. I'll have them check and likely polish the crank. Anything else I should have them do? I didn't see any press in freeze plugs. There was a plug behind the timing cover. Not sure if it should be replaced. I'm replacing the pistons and rods.
