Default Wiring harness

I`m getting ready to install a 2005 or so engine with a 4l60 in my 1988 pick up. Time to start thinking about wiring. The engine has a sloppy stage 2 cam and a trailblazer intake. I have both the dbw and the dbc throttle bodies. Im thinking of using the dbw so I can have cruise control. I dont have the factory harness or computer so Im wide open to ideas as long as it doesnt break the bank. Should I find a factory set up or just go aftermarket?

I'd scour the "previously owned parts emporiums" for a harness from a setup like yours. Should be pretty common and cheap.

Find a factory 2005 and all the stuff needed to make it DBW, clean it up and install that.

So I have never made a ls harness before. I suppose I can just lay it out and delete the wires I am not using. I deleted the knock sensors so its just the basics.

This site has all your answers, and a nice video of thinning the harness. Also, I am DBC, and still have cruise.
