What year Roadmaster?

Does the harness have 4 oxygen sensor plugs or two?
Does it have a cps sensor plug?

'94 roadmaster is OBD1. PCM is OBD1 also.

Even if you did swap to a OBD2 wire harness and PCM, I was unaware that EFILive had software available that was compatible with LT1 OBD2 PCM's.

You could always get a custom wire harness made to utilize the LS1 PCM and coil packs. Then you could tune it with your software.
