Default 98 computer swap.

Well i've got a 98 TA. I'm wanting to use a 99 or newer computer becuase i'm wanting to run a 4L80E.
Whats all envoled?
I'm sure the swaps been done. Is there any write ups on it?
Can I just buy a newer engine harness?
I've been told all that needs be done is re-pin the harness. But that sounds pretty tough. Thats alot of damn wires...lol.

From what i understand, if you use a newer computer in your 98, you also have to change out you gauge cluster to the same year. Something about the 98's are totally different. I am not 100% on this, so check around.
