1966 C1434 SWB Custom Cab

[CustomCab66]

So wiring day is close. I used the instructional at LS1 Swap.com to convert the original harness to a stand alone harness back when I first bout the LS combo. Yesterday I installed the harness and hooked up all the sensor related stuff in the engine compartment. I ran the harness into the cab using a stock grommet hole for the original engine harness. Time to bust out the soldering iron and shrink wrap

Also I have the pre and post fuel filters and necessary fittings on the way from Summit Racing. To Be Continued

Big thanks to bj388ss for the use of his engine hoist to do the swap.

Couldn't help myself I had to see what it sounded like with open headers. I tied some wires to a 12v source and added fuel. I bumped the starter over and the engine came to life. YES IT RUNS!!!!!!........ Well only briefly because I haven't finished the cooling system. I'm on the down hill slide now

Since I labeled everything a while back it's just as simple as connecting the dots basically. The drill walked some when I was drilling the holes for the PCM so it doesn't sit level. well to late now I do not want any more holes in the firewall so I'm gonna leave it as is

After I finished intergrating the PCM wiring with the existing truck harness my OCD kicked in so I leveled the PCM.

I carefully installed the original 51 year old glove box. It survived so I'll save the NOS one I have for later. I chose to put the OBDII port in the glove box so none is the wiser. You can't even tell the computer is under the dash unless you sit in the seat. The interior is all stock except for the aftermarket tachometer and the seat cover. One day I will buy the reproduction material from SMS and do it up right. Not to bad for a 50+ year old interior
