1994 LT1 wiring in 53 Chevy 5 window pickup

[zoomie54]

I am installing a 1994 Lt1 and 4L60e in 1953 Chevy 5window pickup with a 1979 camaro front clip. Engine is in. Wiring is attached. Need help with rewiring. Illustration, diagrams and instruction would be a great help.

Keep those wrenches turning.

What you are doing is complicated depending on what wiring harness you are mating with the LT1. For instance, the fuel system, the ignition, (opti-spark), the charging system, the dash instrumentation, vehicle lighting, etc. Notwithstanding the fact that the 53 is still six volts. ( I believe ).

Try reading this thread which is similar to yours. It's just down from yours on the same page labeled "Backfeed" You might consider PM-ing the guy for input.

I have a 95 Corvette Lt1 in my 48 Chevy truck. I purchased an aftermarket harness from Howell Engine Development who also re-flashed my computer to remove the emission and VATS "stuff". Not cheap but takes the guess work out of it. Your options are to rework a factory harness (if you have the time and expertise) or purchase a stand alone harness. There are pros and cons to each approach. You would still need to figure out someone to re-flash your computer no mater what route you choose.

I suggest looking at the follow forums and asking questions there (that is what I did)

or

I found both sites full of information that was very helpful. Because your application might be custom for your application there is not a answer that will cover all of your questions.
