Swapping the lnf into a lsj body

I'm doing the lnf lsj swap.. I have a 05 cobalt ss lsj with a built lsj zzp motor but Im in the process of swapping the lnf out of a 09 cobalt ss into my cobalt the engine any trans bolt right in when I bought the motor I got the engine trans (g85) engine harness, computer piping and intercooler, the problem I'm having is my harness don't fit into the computer for the turboed motor.. It's the harness that goes throu the firewall.. I was told I have to swap the entire body harness out along with a ton of other stuff!!!! My question is? What harness actually plugs into the computer on the lnf other than the engine harness and what all do u need to convert over, bc right now all I have is time and I'd like to get this car done

why would you do a LNF swap if you have a built LSJ?

Have fun, you need every single harness for the car and the body control module. Then your radio and speedometer are not going to work. It's a mess

if your going for big power with a lnf it is very hard due to the direct port injection you wont get the fuel you need

there is a guy trying to do this, we suggested on another site that this is a formidable task, one that is possible but highly unlikely to work. His project is not done. it doesnt run.
