Now we get into the Chinese Water Torture part of the build... Rewiring the car… But.... It's not as bad as it was in builds past as I think I have learned to think 10 steps ahead of where I am so I don't have to redo things 10 times...… LOL....

Getting there...…..

You're a better man than I, as I despise wiring. Love the swap and that it's just a powertrain swap and not a full body off resto. Pretty cool change.

Getting closer again...… Got the Ignition switch wired up.... Turned the key and if there was gas in the tank it would have started...… LOL..... The last batch of wires you see are the wires required to hook up the Head Light switch along with all the extra wires included in the universal kit that will be removed...….. Getting closer.....

Even though it seemed like a good idea at the time, I decided to replace the two small 12" fans with a two speed 17" fan for some serious air movement...… Done...… Got all the wiring finished except for the radio, A/C and other under dash items......Got the relays installed for the Radiator fan..... A lot of work but not much to see.....LOL

Just a little update...…. LOL..... Wiring, Wiring, and more Wiring...…. Nothing to see there.....But, I also didn't like the way the Power Steering / Hydro Boost reservoir was mounted on an angle bolted to the inner fender panel..... Made a new mount to make it straight up and down...….. And I finally got the hole in the trans tunnel fixed...… Waiting for some parts to show up to get the Fuel tank fill tube connected so we can put some gas in the car and get it started...…. Then next Monday the car is going to get the exhaust system installed and then back to Jeff's house waiting for the Dakota Digital custom made gauge cluster to be delivered to complete the project …..

Again...…. Wiring, Wiring, and more wiring...… Got the Dakota Digital Gear Shift module installed and programmed along with the neutral safety relay.....Works perfect..... also got the Fan Controller and Trinary switch for the A/C installed...… Cruise control, VHX, and OBD module today (Hopefully)……. Also sprayed the floor with Flexseal and installed the Dyna-Mat....
