Now before you guys flame me and post threads here just hear me out haha
I picked a project car and was told it was a V8 car and I thought it was since it has the LT1 with 6 speed and disc brake rear end but I ran the VIN the other day and turns out its a V6 car. ( probably should of did that before buying it, lesson learned) Now this is my first camaro, ive had plenty of fords but this is my first GM. It appears previous owner swapped everything over mechanical wise and bolted up just fine but the electronics still need help. Which is what I'm struggling with.
Ive read a couple other V6 to V8 threads but im still unclear on some things. What I need to be certain about is what I need to change. The forward front lamp relay harness is pretty bad and I plan to replace it (Ill post a picture) but with a V6 one or a V8 one?
So do I need to change the speedo cluster? BCM? The indash harness? The ecm is intact and all I have ti do is feed those 3 wires through the fire wall and connect them?
Both the cars were 1997 cars, so it shouldnt be much to change right? Also it doesnt help that the 1997 had so many different changes compared to earlier years, so hopefully someone can help me out.
Or should I write this off and keep the pull the stuff thats worth keeping and move on?
