I found a V8 lt1 engine with 72k miles on it for $550 and I am going to buy it if i can find a computer and harness. Does anyone know where i can find a cheap wiring harness or computer for the 5.7 v8.

 

good luck finding the harness. but just so you know, they didnt have an lt1 in 88. they put them in vettes in 92, and camaros in 93.

 

Confusing - you found an LT1 in an 86 Camaro? No 3rd Gens had the LT1, so it must be a transplant. What year is the LT1? Make a difference - 93 has major differences from other years, 94 is OBD-I with the unvented Optispark distributor, 95 is OBD-I with the vented Opti, 96/97 is OBD-II with the vented Opti and a different knock sensor.

Then it appears you are abandoning your 93 completely, and using the 95 Z28 for the LT1 install. That make a lot more sense, because you can't just drop an LT1 into the V6 chassis. You would need a new K-member, a different trans and a different driveshaft, plus upgrades on the front springs for the extra weight.

Might want to clarify the year of the engine.

 

Well the person i talked to told me it came out of an 86 camaro. It is a guy who only sells engines by me. That is the last one he has and it is only the engine no wires tranny or computer but i can get a tranny easliy but i cant find a computer or wiring harness. I have a tight budget but can spend about $300 on the wiring and the computer.

 

Better double check that it is an LT1.

 

It may not be but it is a 5.7 v8 for sure
