You'll probably have to have the VATS programmed out of the system but I'm not sure of that. You also realize you'll have to change motor mounts, transmissions, drop in an in tank fuel pump, run new larger fuel lines, etc. You'll probably have to figure out some type of exhaust manifold or header that will work. I'm not one for swapping Chevy engines into the old Pontiacs but I can see why you would want to. Tune port is pretty nice. Good luck with it.
The easiest way is to buy a wiring harness. Then you don't have to worry about touching the wrong wires.
I do not know that it would not work.I would strongly advise you NOT to use a older wiring harness in a newer model due to wiring breaking down,corrosion,brittle insulation.However you should check into something like http://www.painlesswiring.com which should offer a new harness,complete directions,and a sure fit for your model.Time wise and problems a new harness is much simplier and worry free not to mention the cost is prettty cheap and piece of mind.
If you put a harness on your ferret to tight, then they can choke. you mostly wont have to worry about it.
best bet would be to not cut any wires at all. you can buy a wiring harness from wal mart and it costs maybe 15 bucks. the plug fits with the factory plug in the truck and all the wires that connect from this harness to your deck match as long as your deck isn't too old leave the factory plug in your truck it is alot easier and you wont have to worry about it shorting out...
i have the 1992 3800se with that same wire... don't worry its an aux. hookup used for diagnostics
Yes it will... but it's going to cost a lot to do it. Might as well buy a rebuilt 5.3 and install that instead. That way no need to worry about the wiring harness and all the other stuff you need to retrofit.
Linear bus topology is the easiest; there is practically no configuration to worry about except the wiring.
if this is like my 89 don't worry about the diagram if you don't have the amp. This is wrecking yard material. Find that car in a wrecking yard and then get the amp and the wiring harness and clip the harness so you have enough wire to splice the same colors together. Radio Shack has match melt solder strips and heat shrink tubing to make the splicing easy. Or at this point probably cheaper to just rewire the whole stereo system with an aftermarket system And if your thinking about using a mark 7 factory amp for somthing else you wasting your time most normal head units produce as much power as that, your question is a little unclear i guess is what im trying to say.
i wouldn't worry about the wiring diagram, just remember that usually, red is power, black is negative, and green or brown is usually earth. youll have no trouble with fiddling with it, give it a go, no harm done.
There is a trim piece that is just held in by some spring clips that just pop out. Start by grabbing the seam across the top on one side and just pull outward. Once you get this pulled out then grab the cargo light switch from the backside of this casing, and squeeze and it should push out the front. the wiring harness clip should have button on top to disconnect the harness. do not worry with the white parts of this clip. that is just to get the wires out. If you need to do that...well i am out of answers. This should get you started. Good Luck!
There are different wire colors that you might need to worry about. You can use the users manual to figure out which colors to use.
absolutely , as long as they're stable inside the guitar you've got nothing to worry about no wiring or anything is required like electrics
