So, roughly 24hrs later and is it done yet? lol

I just hope your write-up is filled with pics and info so I don't have to jump thru as many hoops as you have had to.

hopefully it will be done. the big hurdle now, is getting the pins from the engine harness to the body harness connect. its going to BLOW.

Maybe this is a dumb question but what exactly is going to BLOW about it? Do you have to connect a whole bunch of wires one after the other? Tight space?

Haven't checked in for a bit. Got a new project going.

I was really hoping the beast was running, but it's good to see it's starting to look like there's a finish line in sight.

Good luck with the harnessing. I'm an electrician, but one thing I hate is vehicle harnesses. Not so much complicated, just a major PITA.

lol "fabrication" time.
had to drill out some holes in the trans mount to the added length in the motor.
here are some pics.

all the big stuff is done. only thing now, is tranny fluid, oil change, finish connecting the harness and she is roadside. better yet, offroad side.

oh lol and exhaust
