You bet it will!

LS3 into C2 Engine Swap... What is entailed???

If this has been covered before just point me to threads. My search turned up nothing with details of what's involved, fitment issues etc. Can it be hooked to Muncie?

Thanks!

Sorry. I gave you the wrong hookup. I was writing from memory. (not suggested!) I'll check when I get home. I'm sure I just tapped into the brake circuit. Whatever I did, it works.
