A stock LS1 Fbody Harness works well, you have to adapt it to the LT1 car tho..

As for the LS1 portion if the harness it looks great..All wrapped in mesh braided loom ad Delphi connectors and all...

Like Merv said you can fairly easily adapt an LS1 harness to make it work you just have to switch some wires to make the gauges and all work....

However.....I didn't feel very comfortable doing the wiring so I was trying to buy a plug and play harness...I also wanted a harness that looked really nice since I am putting so much effort in my engine bay...

Live and learn...

Yeah, and you have to find someone who doesn't want some part of your anatomy for it...

Ok I am inching closer and closer to D day.....

Got all the misc stuff up top done...Bought new plug wires since the MSD ones I had were for an LS1 and were REALLY tight....

Waiting on the converter, harness and flywheel bolts...So I have about a weekend worth of work...

Here are some updated pictures.... DONT MIND HOW DIRTY THE ENGINE BAY HAS GOTTEN....Between pollen, dust and fingerprints it needs a good bath...









Custom Bracket I made for the LS3 manifold so I could Use the Lokar Stainless stuff


My New Air dam with my "LSX" decal on it and another one I done for a buddy on here! I just got to find a big enough box to make is usps proof


My newly custom airbrushed and painted hood! A good friend of mine that owns Duncanspeed.com dose very high end paint jobs and hooked me up with with some airbrushed flames... Also did my dash pad to match...

Lol at the top end miss! Hey Matt, you're not going to stand next to the dyno with a gallon of gas and a match are you? After I get my parts together, I'll get my thread going. I also have to clean this stuff up first, I can't follow an act like yours with some greasy disgusting parts now, lol.
