    What year is your harness? There's quite a few guys on this sit that have done the swap. Myself included.

    the harness came from a 05 chevy work van with the motor, i was able to connect the basic plugs.its came down to the wires going to the main fuse box in the engine bay, i not sure if i need to get the smae year fuse box that came with that motor or is there a way around that if you have any tips or advice i would really appreciate it

    if it started and ran for two seconds and then died you most likely need to have the VATS/Passkey disabled in the tune.
