2001 Chevy Camaro Z28 Ls3 Dual Disc Clutch Wiring Harness Install Scoggin Dickey Oem Wiring Harness
I'm a firm believer in always replacing beat-up wiring-regardless of mileage-when doing an engine swap. Why? Cause it's a few hundred bucks more to ensure there are no problems with your several thousand-dollar engine! Scoggin-Dickey supplied this OEM M6 harness (part No. 12177653, $549).

2001 Chevy Camaro Z28 Ls3 Dual Disc Clutch Wiring Harness Install Ls2 Ls7 Injector Connector Kit
Don't forget that a new engine like the LS3 or this GMPP crate utilize Gen IV-style injector connections-your LS1 harness uses a different connection type. LPE remedies this problem with its LS2/LS7 Injector Connector Kit (part No. 8L480080000, $26). This will entail re-pinning our harness with these adapters.
