Got a c4, need some swap and electrical help
I got a 84? or 85 c4 vette. i dont have the title transferred just yet. Had a LT1 in it but that motor blew. The car sat for about 6 years and friends uncle just wanted it gone. So i took it for $800. Has aftermarket wheels and the 700r4 has been performance built. All thats missing is the motor.
Well i got a LQ9 i was going to put in a old F150 for something original, but figured it would put it in the vette instead. I have a Edelbrock performer RPM intake manifold on order. Going with a carburated setup. Using a MSD 6010 box. My issue is mounting the motor in place. I have found LSx swap brackets that im going to get that offset the motor correctly. But need to know what mounts work best with the plates. keeping the trans in a good spot.
Electrical wise. Where in the wiring harness in the engine bay gets power from the battery so i can roll up the windows on this damn thing? I cant get power to anything with the key in on or accessory. Im not sure what wires in the harness need power. Can someone give me a picture or location and what im looking for? Its in the garage with the targa top off now but if i have to move it to the driveway il need it covered.
