Yes, the LS1/6 car injectors are EV1 connectors. The ACDelco EV1 pigtail is part number PT113. Rockauto has them on closeout right now for $2.92 each. They're usually more than $12.

If you're really hard core, I can get you the number for the connector housing and pins. That's the cheapest way to go from a parts perspective, but you have to have the correct crimping tool which isn't so cheap.

Lastly, there are adapters that plug into the truck haress on one side and the car injector on the other. They'll be the easiest to install but the most $.

I did this when swapping to 42lb injectors on my build.
Dayj1, Thanks for the MAP info. I had Brendon at lt1swap do my tune and he told me the MAP shouldn't matter so I'll just run the truck one like you said and then try the car one and see if there is any difference.

Dayj1 & Brewcity, thanks for the injector info. Someone on LS1tech told me that I needed EV6 injector connectors so that's why I was getting so confused. I think I'll try ordering some new pig tails off of ebay this week. With work the way it is its easier to order some than try and get to a junk yard before it closes. Do you guys recommend any specific fuse box or relays for the swap harness? I'm still stripping things down but I hope to be getting it back together soon.
