for wiring i picked up a universal 12 circut wiring harness. then all i did was gut most of the dodge engine wiring harness except the fuel shut off solenoid, you need a wire that feeds the solinoid on crank and one on ign. then i took the grid heater solinoid packs and run them by a switched ground button on the dash so just push and hold the button and the grid runs as long as you want it... alternator i just run an external regulator, then just put chevy sending units in the engine for oil pressure and temperature and you can run your factory gauges, then just use the factory chevy starter wire and run a main power for the starter... best way to figure out the wiring for the swap is to grab a hanes manual to figure what wire on the dodge gets conected to which wire on the chevy harness...best of luck if you need any info feel free to ask...

You also need a ground wire for the fuel shut off solenoid. The connector should have 3 wires on it.
