my first ls swap 1996 2 door Tahoe 4wd 385 Stroker to LQ4 cam headers **pics**

[myzterray]

here we go again..today i finished up the carpet. got it put in all all the holes cut. also grounded down the little tabs on the poly motor mounts. i was told those would give me problems when it comes time to drop the engine in. still have to get the attachment for my dremel to grind the holes on the flywheel. but as usual here are some pics.







tommorow ill proably finish up the back and get the seats back in.



i want to paint the interior as well but right now i want to focus on getting the engine in and running. have to set back the harness a few weeks because im going out to vegas then buffalo for thanksgiving.im probably just going to order a new one from nelson. so far i heard they are the best and after all this wrok i been putting in i would love for one part of this to be very simple. im the meanwhile just becaus eim going to try to modify the harness i have now. hey why not. i found some awesome step by step guide

Carpets looking good man! And Id definitely go with nelson if you cant figure it out on your own. Even if you do.. for reliabilities sake id still look into nelson.

The company I bought my harness from makes a good harness...I think he may have been one of the contributors of all the info on the lt1swap page since his email is @lt1conversion.com

thanks bud! its all coming together pretty good i think. yea i got my start with this car stuff installing sound systems. im pretty good when it comes to wiring. i took a crack at it last night. pretty tedious but nothing i couldnt handle. ill probably still end up ordering one from nelson. your about ready for a test drive right?

yea i read his whole site and used it as a guide to start doing my own harness. i figured why not. what i need to find is a guide on the best way to integrate my stock harness with the ls harness

[myzterray]

so i decided to take a crack at this wiring harness stuff last night. i got about 3 hours in and fell asleep. seems pretty straight foreward just very tedious. ill probably try to finish up tonite.

started taking the harness apart




here it is all laid out


started labeling the wires










not sure where these plugs go to. the website shows a harness for 99-02 so i guessing these have something to do with the TB?



and this plug? i have it labled as speed sensor because it was near the trans stuff.

[RedHeartbeat]

the one grey harness connector with the slide clip looks like my transmission connector.

[notfastenuff]

The two in the pic together look like the two that plug into your original throttle body. One is the TPS, and I'm not sure on the other.

[PitchBlackC3]

Those aren't TB plugs, the 2003-07 DBW throttle body only has one plug on it.
Hard to tell out of context like that, but it looks like the knock sensor harness plug and MAP lug to me.

yea after a few more hours of this i said forget it lol...now i see why they charge 400+ plus for this
