lt1swap.com has all the info you need to do it yourself. Or you could send it to a few places or just buy one that is made for your swap from Nelson, PSI, etc.

The aftermarket harnesses are pretty much plug and play and have a 3 wire hook up to get em going.

The biggest pain in the *** is going through and deleting all the factory wiring you don't need if you want to clean it up under the hood.

Lt1 swap.com is very helpful. If you take your time and follow directions from this site you will save a lot of money.

I did my own. Got all my info on lt1swap.com. He literally has a step by step. And the pinouts for the LS. I also used alldatadiy to get the wiring diagrams for my truck to figure out ABS and cruise (I have yet to see if what I did will work on ABS and cruise)
