I have most of the engine wired up (Howell harness) but I'm not sure what to do about the water temp and oil pressure sending units. I want to keep my existing gauges. What have you guys seen/done?

Also, what aftermarket aircleaners are you using? I don't really want to try fitting the factory Chevy air box under a Jeep hood. There's not much room.

If there are any other bits of information you would like to pass on I would appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance!!!

I've pulled my 4.2l out of my 88 Wrangler, and am preparing to drop in the 6.0 Vortec I have. There is a ton of info out there; try looking on:
