Holy cow. Yeah, I know for a fact my jaw would drop to the floor when I saw that box of wires. haha, but I think I'm gonna add you to my contacts so when the time comes I'll have that reference. I appreciate the help. I'll be piecing it together as my funds allow. I'm just finishing up my other project, (sbc mustang) so this is perfect timing to get started with this.

Premade harnesses are EXPENSIVE....and worth every single penny. When I did the V8 Fiero swap, the harness was $700.....and it easily saved me probably 100 hours of wiring stuff and countless hours of frustration, plus it had onboard VATS defeat and speedometer correction. I'm a big believer in letting the pros do their stuff here, and if I had it to do over again, would buy the harness.

So there you have it....options. Carb or EFI, either way is doable. Just remember....pics of the swap every step of the way and a build thread.

Definitely if your gonna stay EFI buy the premade harness. I have wired a few street rods (none with EFI) and thats a lot of headaches. Ill buy the next one.
