Re: 48 Chevy COE custom diesel build

I'm with you Chance. I'm using a 1994 Dodge drivetrain in my 1957. It's a 5.9 gas motor, but the wire harness is a similar mess to what you are dealing with. I'm keeping the fuel injection and rear wheel ABS. I have an aftermarket wire harness to handle all of the body electronics and lights, so I will be thinning out the Dodge harness to the wires required for fuel delivery and engine management. The ABS system has its own computer and a harness that branches from the main for it. Same with the transmission.

You have one advantage over what I am doing, the Cummins engine and drivetrain is a popular swap. Lots of other folks have done it before, so there is knowledge available as far as what is needed to make it run. In my case, not many people swapped a Dodge Magnum series V8 into anything, so there is little information out there for my swap.
