Easy I asked you this in my last e-mail, but since i'm here i'll post it here.

Q: Is there any reason an 03/04 986 harness would not work (without any modifications) running a 3.6 or 3.8 engine in an 01 chassis? This would seem to eliminate the issue of changind DME plugs and adding wires for the variocam + system. Is it that simple?

Actually I know the variocam + wasnt available on the 03 04 986 cars, but is the wiring system not the same?

Or if i wanted just one harness would the 987 harness be the way to go?

I am not averse to making harness modifications, but if i can just get an off the shelf part that would work with a 3.8L then i would like to consider it. I would love NOT to have to get into wiring harness modifications.
