So if you get stuck just ask and we will try to help.
Good luck, Jamie
Thanks Jamie,
I'm so glad I found this site....I wouldn't even attempt this swap without having found this thread. One thing I'm wondering, if you look at my pics, you can see that the original harness is complete and still on the engine. So can I track down the wires that need to be tied into the 86 truck and splice with it still attached? Or would it be better to take the harness off the engine and do a wire by wire splice up? My plan was to leave everything like it was in the car and just tie in where I need to and make it look stock.

Also, my harness will require about 2.5" X 3.5" rect. cut out in the firewall for a stock look. Maybe I missed this detail but how did you do yours? thanks,
Mike
