Most have been using 36", but you could use the cable from the donor.
Just call GM and asked for the cable that came out of the donor you had.

have you checked your fuel pressure?

no but i changed the throttle body and it made a huge difference. now it just is kinda high at idle, but i think the idle air control valve is bad looks like it might of been bent some. Got to figure out how to hook up the OBD2 Port i believe the orange is the ign hot wire, there are two black weirs i guess there ground? matter where they ground to truck or battery? and the purple wire is the wire for the OBD2 wire coming out of the harness. I just cant get the OBD2 code reader to read anything. ign on and both black wires tied together and hooked to good ground.

OK got the OBD2 port hooked up and working right. The code it is showing comes up to PO1022. I changed the TPS didn't help. Truck Idles great. but if you try to get into it it still bogs. this engine and computer was DBW now is DBC. the exhaust is down pipes and cats. stops right next to the transmission, could it be lack of back pressure or loss of when u throttle up fast.

I wouldn't think that would be it. What kind of shape are your o2 sensors in?

What is TCC?  I put a 2002 5.3 into my 87 Chevy Truck. Was having issues with it bogging bad  at acceleration. I hooked up the wire for TCC to constant hot and now everything works fine got all the power in the world, does great. So does this lock up the torque converter? Will it hurt for the torque converter to stay locked up all the time while doing daily driving?

I know on my 86 ta when I still had a 700r4 I wired mine to a switch and could control the lockup manualy and I had a friend that has his powerstroke ford like that but he does truck pulls with it.

Sounds good! What are your plans for the exhaust?

     Real sorry to hear that, it sucks to put that much work into something and not be able to keep it..
