What's the tranny plan? did you buy that with the motor too?

Such as using a factory harness...

I think I can do an LS cheaper than big block- hopefully waaaaay cheaper. You got a smokin' deal on yours. I'm looking forward to the reliability/driveability of the modern powerplant...

Will do! Sticking with the 700r4 that's in the truck, for now

Definitely in the cards. I would have more in a harness than I do in the complete engine, if I bought one...

So, what led me to the 'yard where I happened upon the engine, was the search for a pair of pigtails to hook up my latest upgrade. I blatantly stole this idea from 67cheby, who blatantly stole it from another member They are Jeep Wrangler JK light housings that take an H13(9008) bulb. I mocked one up today to see how it looks. I kinda like it, but then it kinda looks bugeyed, too... Opinions?

There are some new on eBay for $4 or so- Amazon, too. I got these from two different late model F-150s (should be on all newer F-series and Dodge trucks); they are like hens' teeth- I prolly looked at ten trucks to find two- and had to buy an engine in the process- good luck!
