Howdy, new to the forum. I have a 1990 Gmc c1500 swb. It was my first ride and after sitting for five or six years I finally decided to start working on it again. Unfortunately squirrels managed to destroy most of the engine harness and clips. A few months back after searching every scrapyard I could think of I couldn't find a replacement.
Recently I found and 89 chevy for about a grand with the same setup as mine, 5.7 350 tbi, automatic transmission, etcetera. The owner just says it runs hot.
I also found out from a buddy of mine he knows someone with a 350 lt1 with the harness and computer selling it for the same price.
My question is which is the better option? Taking the harness and motor out of the chevy or buying the lt1? Will an lt1 mount to a 700r4 transmission? If I get the lt1 will I need to replace other things as well?
If I buy the chevy I figured I could use the truck for any parts I might need but I ain't sure.
I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this.
