Default Just picked up a 5.3

Not sure on the year, all I know is this thing is CLEAN, and was a theft recovery and very very low mileage and got it complete with pcm, harness, throttle body to pan, all sensors, brackets, etc. Anyway, my question...

Which PCM is better? I have the pcm out of my 99 TA I had that I was going to use. I now have a 09386530 PCM, which isn't that 03+? It doesn't have drive by wire so not sure on that, but which one is better if any? Just thought you guys would know! Appreciate the help!

BTW - This is the "prototype" setup for my 67 so if I torch the 5.3, I won't cry about it. =)

Tony

If I remember correctly the 09386530 is used in the same applications as the 12200411, which is the 2001 - 2002 F-Body DBC PCM

Right on, I'll stick with that then. I got the entire wiring harness, and harness going to the lights and everything from the fuse box. I disconnected it because the engine is now on a stand and I'm trying to clean it up to go in the 67. What all do I need to send to wait4me (assuming he wants to do it) to have modded for my application? Thanks again fellas, I really appreciate it.
