This may be the incorrect forum for my question, but since my build is somewhat custom, who better to ask than hotrodders.

I'm building a Jeep YJ from the ground up, the power plant is a 96' corvette LT1 w/ its 4L60e tranny. I have the computer and engine harness from the vette as well.

My question is about connecting the wiring from the firewall back, I know I can buy a harness, but I'm still stuck splicing into the Jeep harness, my skill and patience level will prevent me from accomplishing this correctly.

Here is my idea, what if I get a steering column from the same year vette (assuming it matches up) and an interior harness from same, this would leave me fuel delivery and lights to wire. I could even fab the instrument cluster into the jeep, this would make most everything plug-in ( I can handle that)

Assuming I can mate the vette column into the jeep, does anyone see any issues with this idea?

Cost wise, vette stuff vs. aftermarket harness are about the same, the vette way also solves my gauge issues.

Thanks,
Rick
