Default Need LS3 swap info. Into LS1 car...

The car is a '99 Camaro, LS1. Going to install a stroker LS3 engine. Will all sensors and coils need to be changed over to LS3 or stay LS1 since harness is LS1?
I have seen wire adapters, but not real sure on this.

You should be fine except for the reluctor wheel on the crank. Its different from the LS1. I had to use the Lingerfelter converter box on mine. Im using everything except for the LS3 injectors...using intake mani, l92 heads, LS3 crank and LQ 6.0 cast iron block. You'll have to run a different throttle body as well. The LS1 won't work and the LS3's came with the drive-by-wire. I used the F.A.S.T 92mm TB on mine.

If you are using the LS3 block, you will also need to relocate the knock sensors to the side of the block, and the cam sensor will now be located on the timing cover. We offer a conversion for this. Feel free to give us a call with any questions.
