4.3 to LS1 swap question
swapping a heads/cam 2000 LS1, the ECM from the donor camaro, & TH400 into a 2003 Silverado with a 4.3/4L60.
Which engine harness should i use? i have one from a 2002 Silverado 5.3. The issue is, 2003 was the first year of DBW throttles but the 4.3 is still cable driven. The LS1 is cable obviously and the truck's owner would like to keep it that way. Is there anyway to make this setup work with the truck and its gauge cluster, or do i need to do some wiring or just find a different harness/computer? i'm trying real hard not to have to get a '03 harness, DBW TB/intake, and TAC module, but i don't see an easy way to interface the '02 harness with the '03 truck's body harness/fuse box. I make standalone harnesses from time to time but i'm not sure what (if anything) i can do with what i have.

Ok that sounds easy enough....I've probably got an express van OS already licensed and ready to go....that won't be a problem in the f-body ecm? Its not a 0411 ecm, i can't remember which it is though off the top of my head.
