Did you search the post I talked about?
Well I searched it about the fuel. I'll check it out for headers. Thanks

Do you have a Pep Boys auto parts near you?
A few of the Pep Boys here in Mass have a speed shop section. Its a real speed shop (not just a few cheap chrome air cleaners). They will match Summit & Jegs prices. It might be worth buying the headers there. If there is a figment issue you can return them to the store and not have to deal with shipping them back.

This is a post on the ZZ4 motor and headers. Unless you plan to upgrade I wouldn't get the 1.75 primaries.

Ok got the header thing figured. Ordering today.
Going with the 87 sending unit and vet pump.
Ordering the speed sensor today. And I think I'm going to just get a chip to delete the VATS.

Hey fellas
Got the engine out of the truck, got all the wiring out of the Vet. We pushed the truck outside for cleaning, I'm going to get some M30 degreaser and some floor dry in a bit. Gonna soak down the engine compartment and pressure washer it tomorrow.
Here's a couple pics.

Ok got it in tonight. It was about the easiest engine install I've ever done.
Now I have to do some research on were the computer gets its power, wether to use the truck harness for alternator, and so on. After I got it sat a lot of wiring questions came to mind.
I hope someone can chime in.
My Headman 69099 headers came in, now these are D port specific headers, I also ordered a collector adapter with a 02 BUNG welded in. I'll listen that number later.
I'm also wanting to remove the smog pump, so I have to find the correct belt.
Here's a pic of it setting in.

I would utilize the factory harness for all sensors, power distribution, grounds and accessories; alternator, AC, starter, oil press, water temp, etc.
I would use the factory harness to control the motor and it's required sensors for running the motor. Are you planning on sorting out the factory Vette harness?
Looks nice in there. I have one in the 2WD K5 I was working on...

I plan on using the Vet harness. My question is how will I get power to my lights and ignition and so on. Or I guess I could splice into the truck harness were the Vet harness stops.
