Default Anyone put a fule injected motor in their C3?

I'm about to drop a LT4 into my '68 and was curious if anyone here has done it? What wiring harness should I get? And where do I purchase it?
Thanks guys.

Hey Corey, I was thinking about the same thing a few years ago with my '70. From everything I can tell you, it is better if you can get the computer and all wire harnesses from the donor car. I know a company called "Painless Wiring" makes a bunch of harnesses for engine swaps too.
Wish I could offer you more info on the subject...

Eric, yeah I've heard of Painless Wiring and also Ron Francis has a kit. I also thought about geting the computer from a doner car. After I get it in, I'll have to run it by you so you can check it out. Still can't believe you are selling that beautiful '70. Take care man :seeya

There is a good article in Vette magazine this month on this subject. Putting an injected motor in a 76 Vette

check out Street and Performance. They have harnesses, computers and brackets to mount all your accessories. They have been easy to deal with for me. http://www.tunedport.com

Also, check out Dan's website. He put an LT1 into a 76. http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/vettedan/

I feel your excitement and your pain. (if you don't know what I mean, you will)

Dan's site is the only one I know that shows a LT-1 in a C-3. There is a guy in Lawton, OK that has done it also. Why a LT-4? Thats to easy. Go for the LS-1/6 like 70LS1 is doing.
