My buddy did the harness at his shop...it was the harness that came with the motor...he ordered the blocks and set all that stuff up. I believe those relays are xpress 40 amps...ill have to look again. that harness was too complexed for me to do myself.

Well today I had to get a little creative and make spacers for the fuse block using some adapters for a radiator. I took out a pin in the shifter mechanism so the shifter can run through all 4 gears and changed the selector display thing. still have to mount the linkage. Im havin a little issue...I ran the wiring into the truck that powers up the fuel pump and all and when I turned the key everything powered up but the engine wont crank over so I gotta figure out whats goin on...this is why I hate wiring. Also I have to run the wiring for the brake light...its supposed to connect to the brake switch on the pedal but I don't see the wires for it...I have to look more closely n see. my buddy said we have to have it running and driving by Friday. The driveshaft will be here tomorrow.

im straight up excited now...shes pretty much done. exhaust, driveshaft, shift linkage, leaky fuel line are all done. now its just the throttle cable, nuts for the exhaust flange n some other odds and ends and she'll be on the road tomorrow. I CANT WAIT!!
