WTF over.

I wrecked my 97 silverado and bent the frame. Can't sell it though because it's been there for me through thick in thin. I bought a new frame at a wrecking yard and it's being painted ATM. Well I started taking my wiring harness off to take the cab and bed etc off and I realized I'm not going to remember where half these plugs go. My friend has an LS1 383 fully forged crank roller cam etc that he said he will give me. How do I find out how to make this work with the harness I've got? I thought about scraping the harness and throwing on a carburetor but then I started thinking about breaks! I would like any information on what to do next

Sounds like it's going to be quite the project.....A lot of work to be done there. I think the easiest thing to do is get the same engine that came in the truck, everything will plug in. If not you are going to have your hands full with wiring, electrical.

The LS engine will require extensive electrical modifications to work on your truck and depending on where you live, ditching all the electronics and emissions controls may cause you to fail safety/emissions tests in your state.

wants to know how you bent the frame .

I'm not all that worried about emissions tests. Inspection is pretty easy to pass where im at. And I was sliding around some dirt roads and slid a little too far, caught the bumper and it tweaked it pretty good. What kind of modifications would I have to make? I would love to keep it fuel injected.. Would it be better if I took the whole computer and harness from a camaro?

My parents when they where young almost died that way when some younger kid decided to go around a couner into there lane on a gravel road. end of the story they both ended up in the hospital for a long time becuase some people think just becuase they are one country roads they can do what ever they want . Rememmber that next time you go out on some dirt roads. Ive been hit almost 5 times that way . makes me want to shoot there tires out and leave them stranded . If you hurt somone out there by accident beucase your carless there is no cell phones most of the time that work and along time from any help.

Thanks, I know it was stupid and it cost me my pride and joy but could have been a lot more. As Tracy lawarance would say, it's a lessoned learned and I've got about six miles of visibility in all directions, pretty flat and treeless you see. But more importantly for now though I know this could be done because ive seen a c1500 running around here with a duramax in it haha...
