you don't need a harness if you go carb and the msd box, it will include the harness for you. You will be responsible for wiring gauges and your alternator yourself obviously. Read the sticky, and be prepared to spend at least 2500, if not more like 3000 when you're done.

I already have 2001 z28 exhuast manifolds for it and the oil pan and pickup for 80 bucks. Yea I'm tryin to do it as cheap as possible with cutin corners... I'm gettin the kwik performance brackets for ac ps and alt, I'm gonna use the stock radiator and get dual fans, I'm rebuilding my 700r*, unless I can find a cheap 5 or 6 speed.



I was talkin about how easy the plug and play harness' were to leave it fuel injected. But I'm stickin to carbed.

if you're wanting to do it cheap stay FI and do the wiring yourself. It is around 8-12 wires that have to be spliced in for everything to work. Finding an LS1 intake is cheaper than buying a carb intake and carb.

Not trying to tell you what to do but there is probably more money carbing it. The wiring looks tricky but if you read the stickys carefully and ask questions when you need to things are simpler than they appear.

If my car were running I would come down and help ya out :P.
