Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- GM LS1 / LS6 5.7L drive-by-cable engines with compatible EV1-style injectors
- GM 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L Gen III Vortec engines converted to matching DBC controls
- T56 manual or supported non-electronic transmission swaps
Product Overview
A manual-transmission LS project does not need unused automatic-transmission branches hanging in the engine bay. This harness focuses the swap on engine control and the T56-related connections, helping builders start with a cleaner layout than a heavily modified donor harness.
Harness selection is controlled by the PCM, throttle type, injector connectors, MAF, alternator, crank/cam sensors, and transmission functions. Confirm whether reverse lockout, speed signal, and backup-light wiring are included. PCM tuning and VATS changes are separate.
