Posted by donald blatz on

If you’re planning an LS swap using a Gen 3 (III) LS engine, having the right wiring harness is critical. A quality standalone LS swap wire harness eliminates guesswork, simplifies installation, and ensures your engine runs exactly as it should from the first startup.

Our Gen 3 LS Red / Blue & Green / Blue Connector Standalone Swap Wire Harness is designed for Vortec, LS1, 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 engines from 1997–2007, supporting both manual and automatic transmissions with maximum flexibility.


What Is a Gen 3 LS Standalone Swap Wire Harness?

A standalone swap wiring harness allows your LS engine to run independently of the factory vehicle wiring. It includes only the essential circuits required to operate the engine, ECU, sensors, and transmission—making it ideal for engine swaps into classic cars, trucks, street builds, and race vehicles.

This harness is compatible with:

  • Gen 3 LS engines (1997–2007)

  • Vortec, LS1, 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L platforms

  • Red / Blue and Green / Blue ECU connectors

This flexibility makes the harness ideal whether you’re building a street cruiser, performance swap, or track-focused setup.
