Well Turkey day is tomorrow and still no motor. Finally got a tracking number and it won't be here till MondayI will probably be using a Painless harness. Do you know if my stock throttle cables will work with ome custom brackets?
I am not sure of the length of the Vortec cable. My TBI cable was way too short. The dealership should be able to get you one from a mid 90s Impala that fits really nice. I just picked up one for a 98 camaro for $18.

I got my motor today and I am pumped. It is really clean looking and the fluids are very clean... you know, red transmission fluid, tan oil, the stuff that makes you feel good LOL. I was going to buy a Painless wiring harness... but after thinking, I would probably have to graph my harnesses together in order for EVERYTHING to work right such as the pushbutton 4wd, the blower motor, AC, gauges, cruise control, etc. Would you agree that graphing them together would be the ony choice if I want all to work right? I am ready to do this, can't wait to get the project started.
BTW, did you use an Impala CC cable or just an Impala throttle cable? What I mean is will I need both cables from the Impala or just one. Thanks!
You'll want both cables from the Impala. Just be sure who you buy them from will accept them back if you need to try a shorter one from an F-body.

So what do you think about the wiring?
I got a question about the power steering lines. Mine is missing one. It is missing the one that is on the passenger side of the reservoir. Can you tell me which line that is, and where it is supposed to go to? I need to get one. Thanks
Get the factory original Corvette line. It will screw right into the C1500 gear box inlet. There are two sizes so don't worry about mixing them up.

This is going pretty well. I started installing the wiring harness today, but didn't have much time so I didn't get that far on it. I will hopefully have this done in the next few days which seems very doable as long as I don't run into anything too time consuming. I do however need some help with venting the steam port. What can I do? How did you do yours? I will NOT be running the coolant through the throttle body as done from the factory. Thanks again for your help.

I teed into the return line from the heater hoses. just get a piece of pipe the same size as the heater hose and braze a hose barb or nipple onto it, cut the original heater hose and fit it into position. If your radiator has a heater hose return port then you could plumb it in there. My old rad didn't have the nipple but my new one does. Oh yeah, it's not the one that goes to the overflow bottle.
