A good friend of mine has two identical drive by cable 5.3 ls engines. He is using one on his 85 silverado and asked if I would like the other for my 98 2 door. So I figured it's now or never! He is first rebuilding them both with stage 2 cams that add 100 hp so I'll be pushing 430 - 450. We are both going to use the holley terminator wiring harness. Wish me luck!!!!

Nice addition to a nice ride! Hope the bugs are few.
Im buying the holley terminator x stand alone harness with the touch screen that also runs the tranny. Seems like most of the problems are in that area of the swap. Mechanically there isnt much to it but guys try to patch together wiring harnesses and buy weird ones from the internet that dont work right. Im sure there will be some bugs to work out but i think i will avoid a lot of them with the holley
