Default So, on a long shot..

I'm curious if anybody has done this exact swap and help me out a little. So tomorrow I'm putting both my camaros on the lifts my 95 a4 3.4 and my 93 z28 m6 to swap the subframes rear ends etc. so I'm hopefully going to get the v6 put in the 93 and get it running as quickly as possible looking to make some cash off of it to put into my motor.

ANYWAYS, as for my question. Has anybody done this swap and can give me some help/info on re pinning the harness. I've been on shbox but I'm just seeing if anyone else has anymore detailed opinions. Thanks in advance guys.

I could be wrong...but I believe if you take out the engine harness from each car and swap it along with the motor, it should be a plug and play deal. The body harnesses I would think would be the same. With the exception of the gauges, speedo and I think the oil pressure gauge reads differn't on a v6.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I am swapping the engine harnesses. when I say re pin I'm referring to the three connectors that run to the passenger kick panel that connect It to the body harness. And I'll be switchng gauges and what not so they read correct mileage.

Why not just sell the current v6 car whole? I may be missing something, but why go through the hassle of swapping then having to sell a Z28 titled car with a v6 in it.
