Just got my tac harness in the mail and I'm pretty sure I got the wrong one!!! Errr

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 
There are two different harnesses, one for the metal pedal and one for the plastic. The plastic one has a smaller plug on the pedal side. The one BR3W posted a pic of is the one you need. Where did you get it?

i got it from PSI.com, they got it here pretty quick but as stated above the wrong one...i didn't know that there was two different ones...i would assume that this one is from a corvette or something along that line?

Congrats!! It looks like you are using the stock radiator did it plumb right up?

dman1982 04-07-2014 08:45 AM

Re: 5.3 swap build so far

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 
a little progress before i go make the big bucks at the parts store job, but i got the coolant plumbing ran, ill be posting pics here shortly incase i have something backwards...i was up all night tinkering and just was super tired and tried to nap and that didn't work so started tinkering with the coolant...i did start it again and let it run a minute, i seen smoke and was like holy crap what the heck....it was the paint from the manifolds hahaha

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 
Nothing like the smell of fresh paint and oily hand prints burning off when you first light a project up. I hope to light mine off soon. Did you get a video up yet?
